Thanks Marc, possible nova in the LMC, still waiting on spectrum for confirmation! It will likely be the ASAS-SN survey's second Magellanic Cloud classical nova discovery in three weeks, following on from a nova in the SMC discovered 26 October (ASASSN-20ni).

I made it out at about mag 11.0 (green channel of RGB, ~V) on the evening of 18 Nov but a fair bit dimmer last night (19 Nov) at around 11.8. Couple of pics attached, including widefield from last night.

Cheers -
