found the nova (Toronto)

10:18 PM. I found the nova in Delphinus. It is brighter than HR 7811 (magnitude 5.68). Way brighter than HD 194841 (mag 6.44).

10:23. I thought it about the same brightness as 29 Vulpecula (4.82). Perhaps slightly brighter. Spotted V399 Vul (7.09) above HR 7811.

10:29. Spotted HD 195340 and HD 195053 (both 6.88).

10:39. I was seeing mid-6 magnitude stars. SkyTools 3 Pro, when I set it to mag limit 7.0, matched what I was seeing.
