This nova was reported yesterday in the British Astronomical Association. https://britastro.org/node/26009?fbclid ... S4J-63bCnI

I added a few frames of it to the end of my sequence last night, as the eastern sky was lightening.

Orion 200mm f/4 Newtonian
Atik 383L+

4x 300s L, 1x1

Interesting - thanks for the visual confirmation!

thx

For comparison, I extracted the relevant star field from Stellarium and registered it to my image. South is approximately up in both images.

Note how the nova is significantly brighter than the star at the 11 o'clock position (the next brightest star in the field) in my image, but doesn't even show up in the Stellarium image.

Very quick and nice capture; you're probably one of the first to do so! How cool is that? Awesome, thanks for the share

All the best,

Observed on June the 13th through the Leica APO Televid 82mm spotting scope, and through the 15x60 DOCTER Nobilem binos.
Not particularly bright, but I have found this Nova.

Another one observed on that night has been the Nova in Cassiopeia, still pretty bright, and very easy through the 15x60 binos.

Best,
JG

Congrats on the capture Kathy.
I wish I had known about this one. I was out last night working on a wide-field M8-M20 shot and could have grabbed a few frames of the region.

Interesting, and congratulations on the capture Kathy!

Nice catch Kathy. It is a very noticeable Nova.
