Reminds me of a funny story about a fellow reporter who, I'm sad to say, died about a week ago. But Ellie was bright, witty and lots of fun back then. We sat near each other at work and talked a lot. One of the things we discussed was the proper pronunciation of the planet's name, Your-anus or Yourinus. One day we were discussing whether the plural of aspirin was aspirin or aspirins. I said I'd check the huge unabridged dictionary on the other side of the newsroom. As I was walking to it, Ellie yelled, "Why don't you look up Your-anus while you're at it?"

The moral, I suppose, is if it's not on your chart/software, check another source. Odd that the software's not more clear/correct though & a nova (super or otherwise) would have been really neat.
Brings to mind an incident years ago when I was working with a guy out of California on a search for novae.
One of the people in the program reported finding a very bright nova where no star was seen on any of his star charts. We eventually found he had "discovered" Uranus.
