About this image

Managed yesterday to grab a 15min exposure in between clouds. Nova Cassiopeia (V1405 Cas) has surprised us by climbing in mag. from 8.5 to 5.4 since I photographed it back in March.

I was very keen to capture it as it's my first time to see a nova changing in brightness within a month, though I had to throw away half of my subs due to moving clouds.
