I've been able to take some images and measure this nova. It pokes it's head above my trees at about 2300hrs now.
The image is through a "V" filter on 18/12/08. It's been cloudy over the last few nights so no more measurements have been possible.
The little open cluster in the image is NGC 3603.
North is up and west to the right. Taken with an ST9E with 30 sec exposure. The field is 19arcmin square.
