David, this was done with astrometry.net. I run it on my Win7 laptop under Cygwin. Also on my Linux box which I have yet to put it back together after the move. That means I can run plot-constellations with additional options to those you get if you use the web version - eg mark up more NGC objects. The Linux version puts Greek letters in where Cygwin just puts the "unknown glyph" boxes you see in this image. Then GIMP to label the nova.

Ingrid, it's clear here now. Who can say what will happen by 3am tomorrow.
