After waiting a week for the weather to improve, I finally got to see Nova Centauri this morning. Cloud was an issue as was the impending dawn. Even so, the nova was easily visible to the naked eye through light cloud.

Kit: Pentax K10D, Chinon 50mm f/1.9 @ f/4. 15s exposure with NR on. Levels tweaked in PSE6 and Topaz Denoise to tidy up the noise.

The Southern Cross is at the top an lying on its eastern side.

I feel your weather-pain!  Been miserable here for about 5 days.  The seeing was awful tonight and there was light cloud cover everywhere but sometimes you just gotta give it a shot!

Cool capture btw.  Very impressive considering the clouds.
