Guys !!!
Remember a few posts ago I said to watch it that it just may turn pink (as a nova sometimes does it seems) ?

Blow me down with a feather- it's changing colour!

John Chumack, a brilliant & well respected American imager, noticed the colour change going towards red as he was he was imaging it yesterday. At first he thought there was something wrong with his colour balance on the image and so the next time he had a look with his own eyes- he couldn't believe it. And then he said it had reddened even more since he last saw it.


If tonight's clear and the moon doesn't interfere too much, I hope to have a look thru the 4" dob- only looked at it thru binos so far.

It's currently sitting at mag.5.5.


EDIT:
I just came across this.....
Green Nova Delphini 2013 ???
