Nice shots Paula,

The distance away of this Nova seems controversial:

As of yet, there is no firm distance measurement for Nova Cen 2013,
though radio observations with southern sky assets may pin it down.
One northern hemisphere based program, known as the EVLA Nova Project, seeks to do just that.

But it says here:

So, with enthusiastic hand-waving, we can say the nova lies between 5,700 and 10,000 light years from Earth.
