A new "star" has been reported in Carina. I have copied the report email below by Sebastian Otero. Maybe someone with clearer skies than be would like to try to get an image and measure it's brightness.
A possible nova in Carina has been reported by the Pi of the Sky team at the approximate position 11 13 54 -61 14 00 (J2000.0).
This is near the AG Carinae field, so I have updated the AG Car chart on my website so it can be used as a finder chart or binocular chart since this nova seems to be bright:

While preparing the comparison sequence I found that three of the "natural" comparison stars at mag. 10 are actually variable (GCAS stars) so they had to be omitted from the sequence.
All variables (according to analysis of ASAS-3 data) are included in the telescopic chart at:
