A clear sky as twilight takes hold. The current Moon phase is at 11% Waning Crescent and it is 24deg above the horizon.
Unaided eye - Not seen due to the brightening sky.
7x50 Binoculars - Nova Cen 2013 (V1369 Cen) is at Mag 4.2 - not quite as bright as last night. I watched as the stars faded from view to get a more accurate gauge of its magnitude. Nova Cen 2013 is a touch brighter than HIP70069 (at Mag 4.28) and circled in red. I've worked out how to get SN Enthusiast V6.4.3 to show the location for Nova Cen 2013 - it is marked with a green circle.
