- Nova Cygni Update
-
- Last night I observed Nova Cygni 1992 and made a magnitude estimate.
- Using the AAVSO (b) chart, I estimated it to be at 8.6 magnitude; so very
- little changed from last time. There does seem to be some small amplitude
- fluxuations, but probably a photometer will be needed to accurately see
- this. I used my 3 inch f6 newtonian telescope at 21x.
