Hi all - there has been a new galactic classical nova discovered on the 'outskirts' of the Eta Carinae Nebula, currently designated ASASSN-18fv. It's now in the mag 6s or brighter.

Just interested in any shots of EC taken in the last few nights that might show the nova brightening. Images back to 14-15 Mar would be helpful. A guide shot of mine is attached, for the location - forgive the roughie!!
Pm or post here if you can help - thanks!
Cheers -
