G,day cobbers,
I woke up early this morning to view the Nova. I grabbed my short tube, an eyepiece and star atlas and headed outside. The moon was bright and there was some hazy cloud but I swept up the object easily. I recorded some details in my observing log and eventually went back to bed. When I woke up I proceed to check my data and SHOCK HORROR. I was looking at the wrong star
Insead of RS ophiuchi I was studying V2048 ophiuchi. Not since I viewed DSO's with a moon filter have I felt like such a tool.
I will try again tommorow
