In case anyone's interested, I took more data on the nova that was found late last month and found it's now down from a high of about 9.0 when I started daily imaging on the 30th to about 10.25 tonight (that's with a red filter). And speaking of imaging tonight this has got to be one of the better nights in a while. Seeing is very transparent and steady, temperature is staying very constant (it's dropped less than 1 degree in the past 4 hours) and the stars are tiny and well defined. I seem to remember that David R is currently in southern Utah to do some imaging. If he's out tonight (Are you David?) he's probably getting some great shots. patrick
