a heads up for a nova visible at the moment
it has been around for a couple of weeks ... only found out about it today
its in the constellation of Delphinus
link here to a http://www.itelescope.net/sky-alerts/2013/8/15/alert-bright-mag-6-nova-in-delphinus.html
it was brighter a week ago being an easy mag 4 naked eye object
tonite observing it and I estimate it has dropped back to ~ M 6 - 6.5
it has a yellowish-orange colour to it
this is my first nova ... have seen a couple of supernova in the past
cheers
Dave
