I've just found a bright (approximately 16.8C mag) possible nova on 15x120s M31 photos of Tamás Tordai made tonight (aug. 14.0920UT). It was already visible near 18.0C on his first 25x120s M31 series made by him ~3.5 hours earlier too. Updated coordinates of Vend88 : 00 43 17.44 +41 26 52.8 (J2000.0) . The discovery of Vend88 has already been reported to the TOCP website as PNV J00431729+4126486 and to the TNS-server as AT 2026yvz.    The discovery image

I've just found a possible nova of approximately 19.4 mag on my M31 images obtained this morning with the 0.43 m CDK telescope at Alnitak Remote Observatory using Luminance filter.  Coordinates of Vend87 : 00 43 06.19 +41 22 08.2 (J2000.0). The discovery of Vend87 has already been reported to the TOCP website as PNV J00430615+4122082 and to the TNS-server as AT 2026wjw .   The discovery image. The discovery was made using the Alnitak Remote Observatories robotic telescope network, ARTA program.  

I've just found a possible nova of approximately 18.7 mag (unfiltered) on my M31 images obtained this morning with the 0.43 m CDK telescope at Alnitak Remote Observatory. This guest star was also visible on images (5 × 120 s) obtained yesterday morning with the 0.51 m telescope at UDRO. Updated coordinates of Vend86 : 00 41 24.1189 +40 49 01.89  (J2000.0). The discovery of Vend86 has already been reported to the TOCP website as PNV J00412404+4049028.  and to the TNS-server as AT 2026wed . Prediscovery image made with the 0.51m telescope at UDRO.

I've just found a fairly bright (~17.7 mag) possible nova on my recent M31 images made with the 0.43 CDK of Alnitak Remote Observatory on July 20.1813UT. Nothing was visible at this position on my 4×120 s images obtained with the 0.61-m CDK telescope at Sierra Remote Observatory, Auberry, California (iTelescope.net), on 2026 July 16.4384 UT, with a limiting magnitude of approximately 19.2C. The discovery of Vend85  has been reported to TOCP website as PNV J00425536+4117270  and to the TNS server as  AT 2026vdo . Updated preliminary co-ordinates of Vend85:  00 42 55.97 +41 17 32.44  (J2000.0) The discovery image with reference subtracted.   The discovery image. The discovery was made using the Alnitak Remote Observatories robotic telescope network, ARTA program.  

I've just found a quite bright (~18.0CV) possible nova on my M31 images taken this morning (2026 May 22.1380 UT) with the 0.43 m CDK at Alnitak Remote Observatory.. It seems this is  AT 2026nhw reported my the XOSS team around 9 hours ahead of me.  Checking my yesterday images, it was already visible on yesterday morning (2026 May  21.1465 UT) too , but then it was significantly fainter (~18.8CV), probably this is the reason I missed the discovery earlier. Thus I just have another independent discovery and prediscovery observations. The discovery image.    The discovery image with reference image subtracted.   Observations were made using Alnitak Remote Observatories robotic telescope network, Alnitak Research Telescope Access (ARTA) program. 

I found a possible nova on the M31 images made by Tamás Tordai in the evening 2026. Jan. 20.  It seems this is AT 2026afr, discovered by the XOSS team almost one and a half days ahead uf us.
