Recent observations by Norwegian observers in VSNET format:

Object    YYMMDD(UT)  Mag  Obs  Notes
AQLV1494  000103.700   79  SOV  7x50B; Est. 3-1;4=V
AQLV1494  000104.701   80  SOV  7x50B; Est. 3-2;4=V
AQLV1494  000116.694   84  GRL  203-mm SCT (100x). See note [1]

Note [1]: Estimate 5=V;6+3 (class 2). Nova seen at a very low
altitude, but magnitude estimate should be fairly accurate. Limiting
magnitude was only ~9.0 due to low altitude, twilight and poor
seeing. This was probably the last evening observation of this nova
for several months.

Magnitudes deduced using the TA/NAS.VSS sequence with V magnitudes
from the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogues.

Observers (AAVSO code, name, and observing location):
GRL = Bjorn H. Granslo (Fjellhamar, Norway).
SOV = Oddleiv Skilbrei (Honefoss, Norway).

                             Yours sincerely,
                             Bjorn H. Granslo
