Last night I managed to capture a few images of Nova V572 Vel just before the clouds rolled in. I used my small Askar SQA55 55mm scope + monochrome camera with a V photometric filter. Using ASTAP I measured the nova to be magnitude 4.87(V) by comparing it to the nearby mag 4.90 star HR 4134.
Here’s a link to the image with a few more details and showing Nova V572 Vel (centre) and HR 4134 (left):
