I observed TCP J15244460-6059200 (named FQ Cir in the CBET No. 5138 http://cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005100/CBET005138.txt ) remotely at iTelescope.Net T30 (0.50-m f/6.8 reflector at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia) on 2022-06-25.
My estimates of brightness:
2022 06 25.67985 11.28 V
2022 06 25.68264 12.02 B
2022 06 25.68532 10.42 Rc
2022 06 25.68843 9.69 Ic
The object's position is almost the same as the 14-mag source 5875610751015084544 in the Gaia DR3 catalogue. From ATel #15473 http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=15473 : "The spectrum resembles that of a very fast classical nova after optical peak. The low amplitude of the transient raises questions about its nature and the possible progenitor match."
I am attaching my color image (3x60 sec. with V, B and Ic filters for green, blue and red channels).
