The new nova in Circinus (PNV J13532700-6725110) is brightening fairly rapidly at the moment and is possibly around 6.4 or brighter visually. The AAVSO visual light curve is attached. The recent mag 7.5 obs shown is not really a visual observation - it's a strange one done 'visually' from a SLOOH image and can safely be ignored as an outlier.

So this nova is well worth watching to see how bright it will get, despite the moonlight. And a spectrum or two wouldn't hurt - I've done spectra over the last few nights that are pretty much featureless and show no signs of emissions.

Cheers -
