Hi all If you open Guide 8.0 on the Nova's position, you'll see six Tycho stars (4 not in the chart below) within ~10 arcmin of the Nova. Guide converts BT and VT mags to Johnson B,V, which is useful. Regards Tom Richards Dr Tom Richards, FRAS Woodridge Observatory 8 Diosma Rd, Eltham, Vic 3095, Australia.
