V1535 SCORPII = NOVA SCORPII 2015 = PNV J17032620-3504140
     As first announced on CBET 4078, S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan,
reported the discovery by T. Kojima (Tsumagoi, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma-
ken, Japan) of an apparent nova (mag 8.2) on CCD frames (limiting
mag 12.0) taken on Feb. 11.837 UT using a Canon EOS 60S digital
camera (+ 150-mm f/2.8 lens); Kojima measured the postion of the
new object to be R.A. = 17h03m26s.2, Decl. = -35o04'14" (equinox
2000.0; Nakano measured position end figures 26s.11, 17".6 and red
magnitude 8.1 from the same frame, estimating an uncertainty of
+/- 5" for the position).  E. Guido and N. Howes measured position
end figures 26s.19, 18".1 from an image obtained on Feb. 13.7 with
a 0.50-m astrograph.  The variable dropped in brightness from
visual mag about 9.5 on Feb. 12.8 to about 13 in mid-March.  F. M.
Walter, Stony Brook University, found that spectroscopy obtained
over the first 25 days with the Cerro Tololo 1.5-m reflector
suggests the variable to be an "He-N"-type nova.  Further details
are given on CBET 4078.
     The variable was designated PNV J17032620-3504140 when it was
posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage.  E. Kazarovets and N.
Samus note that the permanent GCVS designation V1535 Sco has been
assigned to this variable.


V5667 SAGITTARII = N SGR 2015 (No. 1) = PNV J18142514-2554343
     As first announced on CBET 4079, K. Nishiyama (Kurume, Japan)
and F. Kabashima (Miyaki, Japan) reported their discovery of a
possible nova (mag 10.9) in Sgr on unfiltered CCD frames (limiting
mag 13.3) taken around Feb. 12.878 UT using a 105-mm f/4 camera
lens; confirming frames (limiting mag 16.6) taken around Feb.
12.891 using a 0.40-m reflector show that the variable is located
at R.A. = 18h14m25s.14, Decl. = -25o54'34".3 (equinox 2000.0).  A
pre-discovery image identified by T. Kojima, Gunma-ken, Japan, with
a digital camera (+ 150-mm-f.l. f/2.8 lens) from Feb. 11.841 shows
the variable at mag 10.5.  The star reached visual mag about 9 in
mid-February.  Spectroscopy obtained by F. M. Walter (as above)
shows that the variable is an "Fe II"-type nova with fairly
narrow, boxy emission lines and low-velocity absorption systems.
Further details are given on CBET 4079.
     The variable was designated PNV J18142514-2554343 when it was
posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage.  E. Kazarovets and N.
Samus note that the permanent GCVS designation V5667 Sgr has been
assigned to this variable.
