Details:
Fairly dim but interesting star which brightened from 16th magnitude to approximately magnitude 8. Discovered March 18 in Japan. Currently visible before dawn in the constellation of Cassiopeia. In the 2 images, one shows a reference photo taken by a Sky Patrol camera with the star where the pink cross is located. N designates where it is on my image. A and B are two comparison stars seen on both photos. The nova is estimated to be 33.6 trillion miles from Earth.
