Looks like a marshmallow-cooking ember now....

I think it's faded past Mag 10 tonight. The rate at which it's been fading has been pretty linear over the last 3 weeks, and the infrared magnitude has been fading in step with the V magnitude, which suggests that dust clouds have yet to form. When that happens, it will fade rapidly.

Another comparison image....

Wow look at the colour change. Great image Lee.

The nova at mag 11.9 (estimated) tonight compared to mag 4.4 on the 16th August.

Nice, Tom.

Photometrically, it's hit a standstill in the last week and is hovering at c. Mag 11.1. It remains a fascinating little beast.

Thanks Jon. I made an error in the estimate - it should have been about mag 10.9 - plenty of stars in the same field around that brightness for comparison.

Cheers,
Tom
