It is approx 50% overcast this morning with the heavier cloud cover to the South. It has been two days since I last observed Nova Cen 2013. Moon phase - 38% Waning Crescent.
Unaided eye - Just visible from my suburban sky.
7x50 Binoculars - To my eyes, Nova Cen 2013 seems to have brightened a little since Xmas and looks to be at Mag 4.0 showing a slight pink hue in colour. It appears to be a little brighter than HIP70069 (Mag 4.28) which is marked in red on the attached Starry Night screen grab. I am using SN Enthusiast so I cannot plot the location of the Nova itself.
