Prompted by the ATel #16285, regarding the discovery of a new Nova in M31, I observed the star with the 30cm telescope of the Foligno Observatory (K56) equipped with a QHY174M cooled camera and R_Cousins filter. 15 nearby stars were taken from the UCAC4 catalog as comparisons, using their r_Sloan magnitudes; aperture photometry was made with iraf/apphot. The star was found at r_Sloan=16.67 +/-0.6 on 2023-10-13T22:31 and 16.96 +/-0.07 on 2023-10-14T20:25, suggesting that it has already past the maximum light. Bad weather is predicted for the next days, so further follow-up is unlikely for our Observatory.
