Scientific paper

We report the discovery of an optical nova candidate in M 31 on two 8*60sec stacked R filter CCD images obtained with the robotic 60cm telescope with an E2V CCD (2kx2k) Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (Super- LOTIS, located at Steward Observatory, Kitt Peak, Arizona, USA) on 2007 Nov 2.28 and 2.37 with respective magnitudes of 16.9 and 17.0. The position for the nova candidate is RA = 00h42m37.29s, Dec = +41d17'10.3" (J2000, accuracy of 0.2"), which is 1' 19" west and 1' 2" north of the core of M 31.
