Nova Del 2013

Dear all
A very bright nova has been discovered in Del.
http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unco...3+2046041.html
It is very bright at around V mag 5. I took images and spectra of it tonight.
I was limited to 4 sec exposures with a V filter as it saturated with a longer exposure.
The spectra is taken with my LISA spectrograph. This satureated with exposures longer than 45 sec.
This is the brightest nova in quite a few years and will be interesting to follow as it changes.

Terry
