    Bah. Tried, and failed, to see the Nova in Lupus this evening. Skies were reasonably clear, but just a bit too bright. I was barely seeing past mag 7.5, with the 10x50 binoculars.

    Ah well, maybe somebody else will spot it?

    I have observed #TCrB around 30 nights during June&July each about 4 hours period with 22 second resolution. However, although there has been some possible findings of trends in my observations I have not actually analyzed those.
    There are many research papers of these Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) published, and seems that in #TCrB there are brightness flickering even inside 1 minute. I have reported my observations to #AAVSO database, which researchers are using actively.

    P Cygni spectra comparison. Three moments of a very bright blue star surrounded by a high speed, expanding envelope.

    Spectra produced with own data at the #AAVSO.

    @thomasconnor Does that star have a name? Can it be seen with midrange amateur equipment, like 5-8" telescopes? What is its period? Might make for a fun #AmateurAstronomy project. #AAVSO
