    >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). The object was
    >first detected on 2007 Dec 18.19 and 18.30 with respective magnitudes of
    >17.2 and 17.4.
    >The position for the nova candidate is RA = 00h41m54.96s, Dec =
    >+41d09'47.3"
    >(J2000, accuracy of 0.3"), which is 9' 17" west and 6' 22" south of the
    >core of M 31. All magnitudes given are obtained from a photometric solution
    >using R magnitudes of the Massey M 31 catalogue. No object is visible
    >(limiting
    >R magnitude of ~18.5) at the position of the nova candidate on Super-LOTIS
    >images of 2007 Dec 18.19 and before.
