A mostly clear sky this morning after the thunderstorms from earlier in the night. The current Moon phase is at 11% Waning Crescent although it will not rise for another hour. Some low lying cloud on the Southern Horizon is reflecting the light pollution from Brisbane's CBD.
Unaided eye - Just visible / hard to pick up due to Brisbane's light pollution dome.
7x50 Binoculars - Nova Cen 2013 appears to be around Mag 4.2 - not quite as bright as last night. No colour was observed. The closest star that appeared to match Nova Cen 2013 in brightness was HIP70069 which is circled in red on the exported Starry Night image. The location for Nova Cen 2013 is marked with a green circle.
