Now naked eye

Hi Fringe Dweller & All,

This classical nova event is now a faint naked-eye object (simple binocular target) at he following position:

RA 18 05 58.9 Dec-27 13 56 and was measured on Aprl 23.12 UT at mag +5.65.

It is in the same field with the very faint and difficult G.C NGC 6540, about 1/2 degree NNW of the cluster.

Best,
