Default Nova + two geosats....

...recurrent nova RS Oph belatedly recorded via Canon 300D DSLR this morning in SE before dawn and seems to have faded to bins mag 8.5 since outburst and of reddish hue.

Amazingly two geostationary earth sats 'streak' across 6o wide field during exposure [also recorded on adj frames in 'new' positions] and occupy the zone frequented by these sats eg about -6 degrees declination as viewed from southern England.
