I am finding the AAVSO Manual helpful for refining technique and uploading results to the AAVSO - https://www.aavso.org/visual-star-observing-manual
What do the spectra tell us about the nature and evolution of this nova? (I have not tried spectroscopy). |
Pierre, and anyone else who is enjoying estimating the nova's brightness, atm S Carina is about the same brightness. R Hya and RR Sco are brighter than mag 7 and T Cen, R Nor & RV Sgr are a bit fainter. And there are plenty more in the range of my 15cm achro from suburban Wollongong, actually quite a few can be seen in the 80mm.
