The variability of the object was first discovered by an amateur astronomer, Gabriel Murawski, and reported on August 6, 2019 with the name MGAB-V207.

[6] Archive photometry data from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey and ASAS-SN showed nova-like (NL) brightness variations between magnitudes 15.8 and 17.0, exhibiting a deep dimming event in late 2006.

[7] The spectrum shows a hot subdwarf (sdB) or a white dwarf origin,[4] which is consistent with VY Scl type objects.

The spectrum includes Balmer, OI and FeII emission lines with P Cygni profiles.

[3] Spectrum analysis from observations by the Advanced Technology Telescope revealed a similarity to Nova Sagittarii 1991, three days after maximum brightness.
