Description:
Nova Cas 21 has brightened dramatically since its discovery on 18 March of this year and can now be seen with the naked eye from a dark sky site. I captured this image of Nova Cas 21 and its surroundings early Tuesday morning. Nova Cas 21 is currently at least as bright as HIP115395, which is a 5.55 magnitude star.
