A mostly clear sky this morning. The Moon phase is at 89% Waxing Gibbous although it had already set when this observation was made so its impact was not noticed.

Unaided eye - Not seen.

7x50 Binoculars - To my eyes V1369 Cen (Nova Cen 2013) is at App Mag 5.0 with it being between on par with HIP69618 (at Mag 5.00) in brightness. No colour was observed.
