Dear Bogan
This is the same nova that was found in late November.
I have been following it since then. On 19/1/10 I measured a V mag of 10.711 but it has a short term variability of up to 0.4 mag over a few hours.
It would be a good candidate for a time series using a DSLR as there is a nearby comp star (102 on your chart) that is close in mag.
I am using an exposure of 30 secs with a V filter with my CCD but a similar exposure with a DSLR should give non saturated stars and extract the "G" channel.
There is a need for time series data on this unusual nova.
