I just realized that these images were collected on Saturday 17-04-2010 early morning from 3AM to 5.30AM twilight start as this region is not visible to me until after midnight.
I looked at the wrong directory for the dates.
Sorry about the confusion.
So Rob_k that fits in with your image. The nova was most probably brightening when you almost caught it.
I do not mind who notifies the relevant people. I have been up for three nights in a row and nearly out of fuel.
The important thing is to verify it is real and not a variable or slow asteroid etc.
