Hunting for nova using a CCD

I was wondering if anybody within the BAA or in the wider astronomical
community could offer me advice on searching for nova.

I currently opearte a Takahashi Sky 90 with SBIG ST-10MXE and a
Takahashi Epsilon E250 with SBIG ST-8XE from a dark site.

Every year I take on a new challenge and I thought 2005 could be the
year of the nova.

Best wishes
