AT 2021bkv - Type CV Transient (discovered 2021-01-31), HV Aur

AT 2021bkv (CV) (Auriga)
AT 2021bkv (Type: CV) discovered 2021/01/31.675 UT by XOSS
Alias: XM48HT
 ( Rochester Supernova site  )

 
AT 2021bkv (CV) - 2021-03-05 (T+33.2d)
Image below (2021-03-05.897) was taken 33.2 days after discovery of 2021bkv
Reported position of CV is shown by white circle. 
No obvious indication of an object at the reported position.  Transient is therefore unconfirmed 
(CV may have faded to be at or below the limiting magnitude of image)

AT 2021bkv / HV Aur
Detailed inspection of the image shows a faint stellar object at the position of HV Aur
in the following enlarged negative display.
This would seem to confirm that the AT 2021bkv transient has faded back to its normal magnitude
