Nova in Eta Carinae

Has anyone been observing the nova in eta carina these last days? https://www.aavso.org/aavso-alert-notice-626

I tried two nights ago, looking for a bright star near those coordinates (HD92063). It was a little hard since it's the first time I try to find a target like this with my manual dobs, but it felt really good when I finally found it. To be sure I was looking at the correct area, I emailed the astronomy area of a university in my state, giving them the coordinates and asking if they could take some pictures. Today they sent me this:

Today I tried observing it again and this time it was much easier to find, and thanks to the photos I know im looking at the correct spot. Here: http://aladin.unistra.fr/AladinLite/?target=10 36 13.710-59 35 55.10&fov=1.30&survey=P%2FDSS2%2Fblue there are some old photos (I don't know if it shows the date somewhere) we can use to compare.
