PNV J17224490-4137160 – the Nova in Sco. I’ve just imaged it using iTelescope T32 at SSO (FOV = 43.5′) and used 15 second exposures with a V filter. *Just* about (maybe!) kept it from saturating! Comes out at about mag. 7.5. I used Tycho software for the photometry using the APASS catalog for the comp. stars. Waiting for the AAVSO to get a list of approved comparison stars.
Here are both V and I magnitudes.

There are some a nice high resolution spectra coming from from the amateur 2SPOT team using their new echelle spectrograph on their remote setup dedicated to spectroscopy in Chile.

Here is a picture of their setup on the telescope farm showing both the original low resolution faint object spectrograph on the Newtonian and the high resolution fibre fed echelle using the RC, both on the same mount

A great setup and some nice results!
On a less expensive note, I’m just about to upgrade my system at PixelSkies in Spain to a C11 Edge HD with RVB photometric filters (from a 104mm APO I have at present). No spectrograph though!
Cheers
