Description

The nova is the bright star dead-centre in the frame.

Nova Cas 2021 was discovered by Yuji Nakamura of Japan on 18 March at about 10h UT. I was only able to get two frames, because it was way down in the trees. It is located between the Bubble Nebula and M52. Any image that includes those two will include the nova, making some good before and after comparisons possible.
