Hi Paul

The planetary nebulae is about a degree to the south of the nova looking at pocket sky atlas - it's too faint for me to see. This is a map a few of us have been using - it's at the top of a asterism - thumbnail about half way down - north up on chart remember.

Two nights ago when i last saw it was around mag 7 and is very close to the mag 8 star on the chart.

The nova just looks like a star.

I spotted it yesterday and it looked about mag 7.1. I will check again tonight
