I finally had a chance to observe Nova Lupi last night immediately after getting home from work to take advantage of some clear(and cold!) skies.
Rugged up on my recliner and using my 10x50mm binoculars I easily found the nova, which I estimate to be around 5.7 magnitude. It appeared just about identical in brightness as nearby HR Lupi which is a very slight variable star.
