Unfortunetly this nova is unobservable for me. Too low in the sky , too much light pollution (street lights) and too many trees and houses. Once again, thanks for the views.

That would be very cool.

Imaged it again tonight (17 Nov) - on green channel appears to be similar magnitude to the adjacent star, mag 10.8.
