I just came on here to start a thread about it and see I've been beaten . Good on you Psyke777.

Just observed it at 12.30am thru 10x60 binoculars.
Easy catch and very bright.
Heading off from Sagitta drawing a line straight into Delphinus as per Ian Musgrave's (astroblogger) binocular chart directions (see link- fantastic, easy guide!).
Look for a very bright arc shape asterism, sort of H shaped too, slew left to a blank spot, very bright yellow star which is the nova makes up a triangle asterism. To the left of that is two pairs of bright stars close to each other. The nova sits between these two pairs and the arc asterism.
Very intense and bright yellow it is, wow!
