After ATel#4483 we performed followup observations of the candidate classical nova OGLE-2012-NOVA-002 in B, V and R filters on 2012-10-18, using the SMARTS 0.9-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory.

Our calibrated results are:

  • B = 15.86 +- 0.03 at UT 5:59:21
  • V = 16.49 +- 0.02 at UT 6:15:28
  • R = 16.04 +- 0.02 at UT 6:32:30

For calibration, the photometric measurements reported by the NOMAD catalog were used (obtained from CDS' Aladin). The images were processed using tools from the Starlink suite.
