No nova in NGC 6822.

FILIPPENKO A.V. and CHORNOCK R.

Abstract (from CDS):

Filippenko and Chornock report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 320-990 nm), obtained as above on June 29 UT, reveals that the apparent nova in NGC 6822 (cf. IAUC 8141) is actually a very late M-type star in that galaxy. Strong TiO bands are present, as is narrow H-alpha emission. Such stars are known to sometimes be highly variable, such as Mira variables.
