Did I manage to capture Nova Cas 2021 in this pic?

Hi all, as the weather was clear last night I decided to try and capture Nova Cas 2021. I took some images and when I put this into Astrometry website it showed some stars like Cas4, etc and looking at images on sites it shows it close to that star and in the region. I am trying to understand the images and I think I might see it but it might just be a star and not the nova. Any help would be appreciated to see if I have captured it would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Also, if you've submitted it to Astrometry, on the right is the Worldwide telescope link, where you can superimpose your image on the deep sky reference images and fade your image in and out to try and find anomalies.

Thanks for your reply. I did not know that, I only used the site today first time. Will take a look. Thanks again

I marked the Nova on your image, it is quite faint - about 7 or 8-th magnitude but its definitely there. Nice work!

I agree with Nik, looks like you got it
