Hmmm, seems I got both of them in an image taken on 28 May, three days before the discovery of the second one! Never know what you'll find! At this time, Nova Oph 2008 seems about mag high 10s, while Nova Oph 2008 No 2 is around low 12s, still brightening (it has now dimmed off a fair bit from the discovery mag of 11.3).

Must happen often, considering the number of widefields that would be taken around the world every night. Recognition is the key, LOL!

Have attached my original N Oph 2008 image, and the amended one with both novae.

Cheers -
