0415 hrs AEST Sun 5-1-2014 (1815 hrs UT Sat 4-1-2014)
95% cloud cover this morning with some patches of clear sky to the South.
Unaided eye - Not seen.
7x50 Binoculars - V1369 Cen (Nova Cen 2013) is at least on par but possibly a little brighter than HIP70069 / HD125288 (at Mag 4.28) in apparent magnitude. I only had a very short chance to observe V1369 Cen in the same 7 degree FOV as HIP70069 / HD125288, HIP 69618 / HD124367 and HIP70264 / HD 125628. The cloud cover did not allow me to watch the stars fade into the twilight for a more accurate gauge of magnitude.

Reason: Fixed up the year - should read as 2014
