V5853 SAGITTARII = TCP J18010780-2631434
     As first announced on CBET 4295, K. Nishiyama (Kurume, Japan)
and F. Kabashima (Miyaki, Japan) discovered an apparent nova (mag
10.7) on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around Aug. 8.53 UT
with a 135-mm f/4 camera lens; with a 0.50-m reflector, they
measured position R.A. = 18h01m07s.80, Decl. = -26o31'43".4
(equinox 2000.0), noting that nothing was visible at this position
on past survey frames taken on Aug. 2.535 (limiting mag 12.9) and
8.556 (limiting mag 11.9), nor on the Digitized Sky Survey.  The
variable was designated TCP J18010780-2631434 when it was posted at
the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage.  P. Schmeer, Bischmisheim,
Germany, writes that this variable was found also on Aug. 6.96 at
mag about 13.3 by the "All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae"
using a 14-cm telescope at Cerro Tololo (position end figures
07s.74, 42".0).  Spectroscopy by M. Fujii (Okayama, Japan;
forwarded by H. Maehara, Okayama Astrophysical Observatory) on Aug.
8.56 with a 0.4-m telescope suggested that TCP J18010780-2631434 is
a classical nova in outburst.  Spectroscopy on Aug. 11.87 by U.
Munari et al. with the Asiago 1.22-m telescope indicated a heavily
reddened "Fe II"-type nova close to maximum brightness.  Details
are given on CBETs 4295 and 4299.
     E. Kazarovets and N. Samus note that the permanent GCVS
designation V5853 Sgr has been assigned to this variable.


V1656 SCORPII = PNV J17225112-3158349
     Independent discoveries of a new nova in Sco have been made by
S. Fujikawa (Kan'onji, Kagawa, Japan; reported by M. Soma, National
Astronomical Observatory of Japan) on Sept. 6.48 UT (mag 11.6) and
via robotic 14-cm telescopes in the course of the V-band All-Sky
Automated Survey for Supernova (ASAS-SN; reported by L. Chomiuk,
Michigan State University, on behalf of a large collaboration) on
Sept. 6.0 (mag 12.1).  Fujikawa provided the variable's position as
R.A. = 17h22m51s.12, Decl. = -31o58'34".9 (equinox 2000.0), from an
image taken with a 120-mm-f.l. f/3.5 camera lens, from which the
object was designated PNV J17225112-3158349 when it was posted at
the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage.  The ASAS-SN position end
figures were 51s.43, 36".3.  Nothing was visible at this position
on Sept. 3.0 (limiting mag 17.5; ASAS-SN) or Sept. 5 (limiting mag
12.9; Fujikawa).  Spectroscopy by A. Arai and S. Honda at Nishi-
Harima Astronomical Observatory on Sept. 8.43 indicates that PNV
J17225112-3158349 is an "Fe II"-type classical nova around maximum
light.  Additional details appear on CBET 4320.  E. Kazarovets and
N. Samus note that the permanent GCVS designation V1656 Sco has
been assigned to this variable.
