Yes that's the one I was looking at. The nova is about 1.5 arcseconds north of the star I mentioned and the star I was refering to is obscured by the nova. On my DSS image there is a smudge right on the centre of the nova that could be a star dimmer than the limit 22mag of the DSS image. That would almost get it into the super nova class.
