I wondered if there might be evidence of any asymmetry in the nova due to shocks or clumping of fast/slow ejecta and if it might show up in linear polarisation and wavelength dependence. Measurements from 21-22/07/2021 [file attached] don’t seem to show much other than interstellar polarisation characteristic.
