TBH it would be better to use a smaller instrument with a wide field of view, particularly if you want to estimate magnitudes when it flares up. I have been imaging T Cr B every few days with my Seestar S50. The field includes several stars of similar brightness so it should be obvious when it flares up. 

Thank you for an alternative scenario - perhaps I should have mentioned I will use my Origin as well for the wide field stuff.  But I am taking multi frame per second video here 4064mm FL - Planetary scenario,

Hi,

I have been studying workflows to video with ASIAIR Plus and they are centered around moon and planet of relatively fixed brightness.

However, I want to record the famous recurrent nova T Cor Bor. I could review the video each morning to see If I captured event.

The issue I have is that the dim star will get very bright by say 10 magnitudes.  I am worried the image will be spoilt because of the change in brightness will overexpose the captured images.

Does anyone know whether my simple plan will work - or is there a way to make it work successfully.
