The possible orbital period of the nova V1493 Aquilae
  Period analysis of CCD photometry of V1493 Aql (Nova Aql 1999 no. 1) performed during 12 nights through I and R filters a few weeks after maximum is presented. The PDM method for period analysis (Stellingwerf 1978) is used. The photometric data is modulated with a period of 0.156 +- 0.001 d. Following the sinusoidal shape of the phased light curve, we interpret this periodicity as possibly orbital in nature which is consistent with a cataclysmic variable above the period gap.
