Scientific paper

We report the discovery of an optical nova candidate in M 31 on two 8x60s stacked R filter CCD images obtained with the robotic 60cm telescope with an E2V CCD (2kx2k) of the Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (Super-LOTIS, located at Steward Observatory, Kitt Peak, Arizona, USA). The object was first detected on 2008 May 26.45 and 27.45 UT with respective magnitudes of 17.0 and 17.5. The position for the nova candidate is RA = 00h43m12.08s, Dec = +41d19'15.8" (J2000, accuracy of 0.3"), which is 5'13" east and 3'6" north of the core of M 31.
