Description

It is remarkable to see a very familiar constellation for us, dwellers of the southern hemisphere, being "modified" by a new star. This is a close-up telescopic view, so no reference to other significant stars in Centaurus. The nova sits about 2° from beta Centauri, and it shined at mag 4 approximately at the time. I owe to myself a wide field shot, including the "pointers" (alpha and beta Centauri).
