Nova V1280 Scorpii

Maricopa, Arizona

..decided to take a quick shot right before sunrise. Newly discovered Nova V1280, next to arrow in enlarged insert image, forms the top of a small kite with adjacent stars. Now fainter than mag 5, a few days ago it was a naked-eye object. Got to catch 'em when you can:)

30s, ISO 400, 18mm @ f/4.5, unguided with tripod full exif
