Default ASTRO: Nova Vulpeculae 2007

Here's what it looked like last night. Sky went to pot during the blue
frames so they are quite fuzzy making somewhat of a blue halo around not
so blue stars. The nova is the bright star in the center. The slightly
brighter star 7 minutes NW (up and to the right) is SS Vulpeculae. Per
the Sky and Telescope notice
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/resou...t/9054076.html
it was mag 9.4. That's exactly (9.408) what The Sky said it was in my
shot. Taken August 10 04:30 GMT.

14" LX200R @ F/10, L=5x1' RGB=2x1' all binned 2x2, STL-11000XM, Paramount ME

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
