Nova Cas 2021 - Nova (V1405 Cas)

Nova Cas 2021 (Cassiopeia) Nova in Cassiopeia discovered 2021-03-18.4236,  by Yuji Nakamura (Japan) Magnitude at discovery +9.6 (unfiltered CCD) AT2021hkn (Type: Nova) reported by 2021/03/30.055 UT by Gaia Alias: Gaia21bpe, AT2021hkn, V1405 Cas

Nova Cas 2021 / AT2021hkn - 2021-05-07 (T+49.7d) Image below (2021-05-07.074) was taken 49.7 days after after discovery of Nova Nova is shown by white cross hairs.  Measured magnitude +7.90 Note: star object is saturated and shows significant blooming, mag is likely to be underestimated (linked with Detection Threshold = 50)
