     PHOTOELECTRIC OBSERVATIONS OF NOVA Vul 1976 (NQ Vul)


    38 magnitudes in V light of Nova Vul 1976 (NQ Vul) obtained
from October 22, 1976 to October 4, 1977 are reported. The observations 
have been performed with the photoelectric photometer
attached to the 40-cm refractor of the Teramo Observatory;
BD + 19d4039 with magnitude V=6.29 (Ljunggren and Oja, 1964),
has been utilized as comparison star and its constancy has been
checked by comparison with BD + 20d4165. The internal mean error
of a magnitude in the table (each averaged from 2 to 6 measures)
does not exceed +-0.01; a few less accurate values are indicated
by a colon.
