Interesting, 2008 A1 (McNaught) passed the nova position in early July - my shot attached. The nova is only about 1/2 a minute or so away from HIP 34192 by my calcs (please tell me if I've stuffed up), not enough to separate it at the scale of this shot. I've marked & enlarged HIP34192 - it would be a very brave person to say that the elongation of the star represents the influence of the adjacent nova.
Cheers -
EDIT: Sorry, typo in pic: "138" is meant to be "-38", LOL - can't be bothered changing it!
