  "body": "\nN Paul Kuin (MSSL/UCL) reports: \n\nThe  LMC nova AT2026oyp (ASASSN-26dt) was observed by Swift UVOT\nin the UVW1 filter on 2017-11-14 in a 54. s exposure. That\npredated the eruption reported in ATEL #17878 (Chomiuk et al.)\nand the nova was reported to have peaked at g=10.5 mag on 2026\nJune 11.\n\nThe quescent magnitude in the UVOT UVW1 filter was UVW1 =\n19.56 +/- 0.26 (stat) +/- 0.03 (sys) (AB) mag consistent with\nthe other reported quiescent values, at a position\nRA = 00h 50m 45.11s, Dec = -71d 38m 38.51s (J2000) with\nuncertainty =  +/- 1.05\" (90% confidence) marginally consistent\nwith the reported position at RA=01:50:45.142, Dec= -71:38:36.96.\n",
