Description:

Nova V1405 cas has had an outburst that increased its visual magnitude from 7.4 to 5.4 during May 8-14 and has since declined back to visual 7.4. Data posted on the BAA spectroscopy web site by Hugh Allen shows that although the visual magnitude has declined the nova's intensity in Hydrogen alpha has increased and is now its brightest by more than 2 fold since its discovery. This is a narrow band H-Alpha image of the nova showing its current brightness.
