I've gone to the AAVSO site and was directed to the VSX page but came up with nothing.

Alternatively, the article on the Sky and Telescope website re: this nova has a clickable map that'll get you an AAVSO chart. Good luck on observing this nova!

Then I entered NOVA SAGITTARII and was directed to VSX where I repeated the request and still got nothing. Then I started all over again using th identifying number given in the notice (PNV J18202726-2744263) and again the sme results - NOTHING. What am I doing wrong?

I'd guess around 8.7 or 8.8. anyone else?
