The Palomar Gattini-IR. Palomar Gattini-IR wide-field NIR survey found a candidate transient generated in at a J band mag of 11.3 ± 0.02 mag on UT 2019-09-17.25 and at J2000 coordinates
RA: 21:09:25.52
Dec: +48:10:51.9
The source was not detected to a 5 sigma depth of 13.8 mag on UT 2019-09-14.27.
There is no source at the position of the transient in archival 2MASS images.
The transient is at a galactic latitude of 0.2 degrees, with a corresponding
integrated line of sight extinction of 14.6 mags in g-band and 3.1 mags
in J band (Schalfly et al. 2011). Subsequent detections of the source indicate
a steady rise to a magnitude of 10.6 ± 0.01 mag on UT 2019-09-24.26.

Nothing visible on my 4x60s stacked DSLR images made on 19 September ~01:54UT (limit mag ~16.0TG).
PGIR19brv is quite bright on the 2x90s I-band images I made using a 0.41m itelescope.net reflector at New Mexico this morning. Photometry will be done later.
I'll check my 2x90s V-band images soon.
The nova is clearly visible on the 2x60s V-band images too, somewhere around ~17.0V. (Precize photometry will be done later.)

to Richard Schmidt:
From the format it looks that the values of MAGERR were determined with MaximDL, based on 6 comparison stars. Could you verify the values of MAGERR independently, as MDL uses only the first comparison star while ignoring all others. This error is documented (forum MDL and AAVSO), and according to DL will be corrected in a newer version, yet to appear.
I do not use MaximDL, I use C-Muniwin.
I do not use MaximDL, I use C-Muniwin 2.1.27
In that version MDL? 5.** or 6.**? Or both?

AT2019qwf appears to have peaked and begun a slight decline. See graph.
There is preliminary indication that the orbital period is 3.7973 hours, epoch 2458758.6920 based on 318 observations over a time span of 17 days (reduced to nightly means). Mean amplitude of curve fit 0.009 magnitude Ic. Source: Peranso ANOVA, DCDFT, DFT and CLEANest period solutions. VStar DC DFT standard analysis gives a period of 0.174846 days , epoch 2458758.692.

Finally a CBET on V2891 Cyg (behind paywal):
"R. E. Schmidt, Washington, DC, writes that he has derived an observed photometric period of 3.7991 ± 0.0048 hr and a polynomial fit of 0.018
magnitude for the mean amplitude at Oct. 2.192 UT in the Cousins I band from his 583 CCD images obtained during Sept. 26.17-Nov. 4.06 with a 0.32-mastrograph at the Burleith Observatory."
His nightly I-band photometry can be seen in the AAVSO light curve above.
"He adds that this indicates a very slow rising, perhaps indicative of 'F'-class novae such as DO Aql 1925."

p.s. Now to submit the photometry data I've taken on it.........
V2891 Cyg = PGIR19brv Cousins I photometry from Burleith Observatory
I've been following this object w/DSLRs and reporting TG, and TR for this object.
I stacked 9 x 360s RGB images of V2891 Cyg from 2019 December 4 centered around 0h UTC using DeepSkyStacker. I used a Pentax Kp @ 630mm efl f/5.6 + iOptron CEM40EC mount. The nova is marked. North is up and east left. The original 6kx4k image was cropped to 0.5kx0.5k. .Yes, it really is red!
