Flavio Castellani report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.
IAU Designation: AT 2022eqj
Discoverer internal name: OMB-PNV16
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 00:43:04.060 (10.766917) DEC = +41:17:08.00 (41.285556)
Discovery date: 2022-03-10 18:07:26.000 (JD=2459649.255162)
Potential host galaxy: M31
Remarks: F.Castellani, R.Belligoli, V.Andreoli, C.Marangoni, OMB extragalactic nova monitoring with ISSP collaboration, reports the discovery of a probable nova in M31. The coordinates of the new transient are only 0.5 arc/sec from Nova Bryan 1990A/M31N2007-07a The transient designated also PNV PNV J00430406+4117080
Photometry
Discovery (first detection):
Discovery date: 2022-03-10 18:07:26.000
Flux: 16.5 STMag
Filter: Clear-
Instrument: Other
Telescope: Other
Remarks: New transient was clearly detected on '2022-03-10.7550' UT using 16 x 300s frames (4800s total) obtained by a Moravian G4-9000 KAF unfiltered CCD with the 0.4m f.8 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope from Monte Baldo "A.Gelodi" Astronomic Observatory, località Novezzina, Ferrara di Monte Baldo, Verona, Italy. The discovery magnitude is 16.5±0.5 mag in the CV band (clear visual). We will continue to monitor the nova light curve and strongly encourage additional follow-up observations.

Remarks: Last non-detected image on '2022-03-09 18:38:42' UT using 16x 300s frames (4800s total) was obtained by a Moravian G4-9000 KAF unfiltered CCD with the 0.4m f.8 Ritchey-Chrétien
Archival info: DSS
Remarks: No stellar source is visible at the transient's position in our past images and ALADIN sky atlas. No variable star is present at these coordinates on the SIMBAD database.
