It’s great to see observers seeing the Nova with both NE and bins, but it would be nice to see a few estimates too! It’s not hard – and easier to do than explain…using the chart on the VSS web page, chose two stars about 0.5 mag or less apart and mentally place the brightness of the Nova in between. You should then be able to make a good estimate of it’s brightness. Go on, have a go!Gary
