Image Details:

Nova V1405 cas in H alpha- T21 iTelescope just a stack of 3 240 sec images. Nova centered as the brightest object. Spectra acquired by a number of professional and amateur observers have shown that the Nova is bright in H-alpha, it has been bright in H-alpha since its discovery and still is as it has faded after its outburst. Magnitude at this capture about 7.4 down from 5.4 ten days earlier. It has the look of a flare-up of a nova "new star".
