Want to photograph another nova? (Southern hemisphere only.)

V572 Velorum might be naked eye visible if you have good eyes, are in a dark sky...although the first quarter moon may thwart that.

It should be easy in binoculars or a camera on a fixed tripod. A newer cellphone camera might also capture it.

The attached graphic shows the location of the nova as seen from Wellington as evening twilight ends...fairly high in the southwest.

@KrajciTom I'd love to! Can you do something about all this cloud in #PerthWesternAustralia ?

@leece

Something funny is going on tonight. Monsoon is active here, but the sky is mostly clear...so I'm going after V462 Lupi. It's about 15 degrees above the horizon.

@KrajciTom clear skies to you! Maybe I'll get a clear spot, shouldn't need long!
