Yet another PNV in Sagittarius, 18 July 2012
      #5323440 - 07/18/12 11:11 AM

Another one up on TOCP, discovery mag 12.6 U, so not as bright as the last one in Sgr.

I managed to image it in a very brief break in the clouds tonight - our weather lately has been atrocious (nearly as bad as my astrophotography).

CBETs 3182 & 3184 have been issued, "NOVA SAGITTARII 2012 No. 5 = PSN J18193700-1907400":

Appears to be a classical nova, pretty quick work for a dim southern object.

Cheers -

Rob

That's a pity it's not too bright, I am just setting up my imaging gear when I got the alert notice, i'll try for an image also. Thanks for the post Rob

Keith.

Here's an image of PNV J18193700-1907400 I just took from the Slooh Remote Observatory. Based on this image I'd estimate the Nova at mag 11.7.
