Scientific paper

SMARTS consortium observations with the 1.3m telescope at CTIO + ANDICAM instrument show that QX Normae, the optical counterpart of 4U 1608-522, is in outburst (see Markwardt et al. ATEL 851 for a description of the current high energy outburst). We obtained a 12m I-band image starting at UT=2:01 July 9 2006 that showed the optical counterpart to be comparable in magnitude to comparison star #7 (I=18.7) from Wachter 1997 (ApJ 485, 839).
