Bright (Mag 6!) Nova in Delphinus

I can't see mention of this anywhere. Please forgive me if I am doing this wrong.

I saw this alert in my RSS feed: http://www.itelescope.net/sky-alerts...delphinus.html

And I found this thread at cloudynights: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthrea.../o/all/fpart/1

That thread states it might have a yellow-white colour. I was looking tonight with my ED80 and found a yellow-white star just below and to the right of Altair. Do you suppose I saw it?

Having a look at Stellarium I may have seen "γ Sge - HIP 98337". I will probably have another look tomorrow.
