Gary,
I finally managed to get an image of this possible nova this morning after days of grey fug in the south east. A quick reduction using CMC-14 gives V=10.7 (47 refs, 0.04mag). There is a 13th mag star (CMC-14 202142.3+310318) just south which will be troublesome as the nova fades.
Thanks Nick.
A colour image taken by Nick on the morning of April 5 can be seen on the BAAVSS web pages.
A chart is now available for this Nova from the AAVSO web pages. Visit http://www.aavso.org/vsp where you can create a chart to your own preferences.
