Two Galactic Novae in Sgr

Science Novae
1

Hi All

We currently have two new novae in Sgr:

V7991 Sgr
V7992 Sgr

V7991 Sgr is currently 10th mag and V7992 Sgr is fading a bit more rapidly and is down to about mag 11.5. I’ve been able to follow both with my Seestar.

They are somewhat difficult morning objects at the moment, although gradually getting better placed.

I’m not sure if there will be an Observing Campaign for these or whether the interest may have waned. However novae are interesting to follow as you never know what they might do!

Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I am observing both stars from my remote observatory ROAD in Chile. Presently weather is bad in Chile (it was raining for the first time since months the past two days/nights) and I hope to continue observations maybe next week if the weather cooperates.
