John Seach of NSW has added another nova to his growing tally, well done! This was put up on CBAT's Transient Objects Confirmation Page (TOCP) as PNV J18365700-2855420 and was quickly confirmed by the FRODOspec spectrograph on the Liverpool Telescope as a bright FeII-type classical nova.

Latest magnitude quoted was 5.3 (by K Itagaki) which is in naked-eye territory! Cloudy here but will try for a shot over the next few days.
