I find the following from this morning using T5 (250 mm) in New Mexico at JD 2459062.902. I used AstroimageJ
With V filter, nova was 12.9 using 11.2 ,14.3, and 12.6, reference stars in AAVSO chart
With R filter, nova was 12.4 using 12.6 in AAVSO chart
With B filter, nova was 13.3 using 12.6 and 13.7 in AAVSO chart
Seems quite bright through the red filter. Stewart
