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.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
