    >We report the discovery of an optical nova candidate in M 31 on two 4*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 Oct
    >13.255,
    >13.259 with respective magnitudes of 18.0, 17.8. The position for the
    >nova candidate is RA = 00h43m29.48s, Dec(2000) = +41d17'13.5" (J2000,
    >accuracy
    >of 0.2"), which is 8' 29" east and 1' 5" north 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 ~19.8) at the position of the nova candidate on Super-LOTIS images of
    >2007 Oct 12.398.
