the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope located at Cerro Tololo.  The new object,
which is also present at mag approximately 16.9 in an image taken on Dec.
18.06, is located at R.A. = 6h56m19s.88 +/- 0".2, Decl. = -54o03'47".1 +/-
0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 6".5 west and 5".1 north of the center
of the galaxy ESO 162-2.  Nothing is visible at this position on archival
images taken on Nov. 17.23.
