Taken 9/20/24 @ 1:40 UT.   Pretty bright (11.4V) last night but down about 1 mag from first image on the 13th,  But very low in the sky for me.  I am at 31.3 N, and by Nautical Twilight, this is already at 17deg altitude and going lower.  This is very near V1074 SCO, so pretty easy to find in my LISA guider V1074 is just at edge of guider.

And the target 2100 sec total exposure (7x300sec)-

Hope someone further south has been able to catch this!  I checked in AAVSO, no spectra records found, but then again, my inputs are 3 weeks back in the que. But also checked BAA and ARAS no found spectra there either.  This is low but pretty easy to get!

I took a few low-res spectra with my C6, SA100 and asi224mc from Chile, but I'm just starting the processing.

Due to lack of time, collimation adjustments and forecasted bad weather with incoming clouds, I could't even properly polar align, and I don't have a separate camera for guiding, so I know I have some line widening due to drifting, and the small sensor means I have some ugly coma. Hopefully one day I will have a better permanent setup!

good hunting!   hope  you can bag it as it is much better placed for you at your site!
