About this image

After getting to near mag 5 in early 2021 the nova is now at mag 12.6, but still worth following. A spectrum was attempted after this image but difficult at this magnitude with Cassiopeia low in the north.

Field ~46 x 46 arc minutes with north up. Some AAVSO reference star magnitudes have been added. M52 at top.
