Hi David,

A nice image of the region containing nova Persei but could you add a field of view and orientation? Looks like north is to the top left?

Thanks,

Mike.

I really like this shot David. The wide field shows the Nova in context.

Of course. I actually plate-solved this in Maxim, and all the info pops out automatically. Let me have a look...

Thanks for the info David. But it looks like you binned 2x2, so I calculate a 1.95 x 1.29 degree field of view.

Mike.
