Just an update, the Scorpius nova has been confirmed, as has another new one in Cygnus (low in the north for southern Australia):
CBET 3842 : 20140402 : NOVA CYGNI 2014 = PNV J20214234+3103296
CBET 3841 : 20140402 : NOVA SCORPII 2014 = TCP J17154683-3128303

The Cygnus nova, like the Scorpius one, is much too dim for me to attempt a spectrum. Good luck to anyone trying!
