It is about 9, I would guess..
AAVSO charts have comparison stars around nova ranging from 11.5 to 8.2 (visual), so this estimate is very rough.. I will try better with what I have in CdC (Hipparcos data)

EDIT:
8.9, compared to nearby stars from Tycho_2 catalogue.
This estimate was done on stack (8 frames, in DSS) with help of Iris (Aperture photometry (3rings), magnitude constant determined as 24.03).
