Thread: Nova in Sagittarius

    Nova in Sagittarius

    I'm intrigued by the recent Nova discovery in Sag, and was wondering would it be visible through a good telescope just by searching around the Sagittarius constellation, or will I need more specific info to view it?

    If so I have a GPS system (I know it's a cheat to all the purists out there..) where might I find the coordinates ?
