About this image

This nova has been going through a DQ Her type fade. It sat below mag 20 for quite a while although some observers reported it brighter, presumably due to the 17th mag star 5 arcsec north of the nova. It has been rising for a few weeks now and I get 17.83 from this image. How much brighter will it get?
