Possible nova in Centaurus, PNV J13544700-​5909080, 03 Dec 2013

This PNV is up on TOCP, object confirmed with recent visual obs giving a naked-eye object at around mag 5. Discovered by John Seach, NSW, Australia.

I managed a rough spectrum last night under poor conditions of low altitude, thin (and thick!) cloud and a howling gale. Star Analyser grating and Canon 650D at 200mm.

Also crop from 200mm widefield image, same conditions.

Cheers -
