Title

New Nova V4370 in Ophiuchus

About this image

Discovered on 11th March independently by 5 Japanese amateur astronomers, crazy!

It's in Ophiuchus at around mag.11, and can be observed from about 3am. Designated as V4370 Oph.

I love the Milky Way patch running through the field, close to Sagittarius.
