"Koichi Nishiyama, Kurume, Japan and Fujio Kabashima, Miyaki, Japan report a discovery of TCP (mag.= 11.7) in Aql on two 40-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2014 Feb. 21.8564 UT ( limiting magnitude=13.2 ), using a 105-mm f/4 camera lens (+SBIG STL6303E camera). We have confirmed immediately the appearance of our discovery this PN on five 3-s unfiltered CCD frames taken around 2014 Feb 21.8695 UT (limiting magnitude=18.0), using a Meade 200R 0.40-m f/9.8 reflector (+SBIG STL1001E camera). (lens magnitude of referred catalogue Hipparcos, others reference catalogue GSC-ACT) Nothing is visible at this location on two past survey frames taken on 2013 Dec 07.392 UT(limiting mag.= 13.1) and 2014 Feb. 15.866 UT (limiting mag.= 13.1) nor on USNO-B1.0, We have checked in Minor Planets. nearest star in USNO B1.0 has position end figures 15s952, 41"60, distance 6".8, magnitudes B2=16.52 R2=14.50 I=13.67"
