I was just out back looking at V7994 Sgr. Nice and bright. Approximately 7.0 visual. (33x120 Bino’s).

Take a look! :slight_smile:

Greetings,

I received word that my colleagues at the VLTI are now observing this novae. Their first data came in last night and the system was marginally resolved.

To try to consolidate conversations, I’m going to close this thread. I’d recommend folks continue the discussion over at Observing Campaign 907.
