V0488 Sge (Nova Sge 2026) Preliminary and Early Report

Science Cataclysmic Variables
1

Hello everyone,

I made a preliminary report on V0488 Sge that shows my very limited findings about the shape of the V and H-alpha light curves, as well as a very bold appoximation of the terminal velocity of the expanding shell.

The idea: to show what a complete amateur can do with the tools he can access to.

Cheers!
