Nova in Cas

[7170]

I revisited V1405 Cas this evening and measured it at Mag 9.6 (ASTAP). This is pretty close to other measurements on AAVSO today. A quick look at the light curve shows that it is continuing to dim (a trend since the start of Nov'21).

Post 501 of this thread and here is the complete light curve of V1405 Cas from its discovery on March 18 until today. What a fascinating nova! Still worth following

Yesterday was clear (despite the forecast saying otherwise) and I managed to snap V1405 Cas again. Measured at Mag 9.4, so ever so slightly brighter than my last measurement.

I was out last night 2nd Jan with my bins FINALLY after weeks of total cloud. I could not detect it hand-held in windy conditions with my 8x42s but I could with my 15x56s. I haven’t looked at this for a while, the last time was a couple of months ago at least, when it was a much easier target.

This nova is still being observed and still relatively bright at 11th mag. Worth following. What will it do next?

Indeed. I looked for it just the other day and found it still there to my surprise. I should’ve mentioned it.

Amazing that it is still hanging in there, had forgotten about it being a potential target. Will have a look sometime soon.
