BRIGHT NOVA IN CASSIOPEIA: Recently, the offers a pretty unique – in the Cassiopeia constellation, a bright nova can be visible on the threshold of naked-eyes visibility away from the cities. Nova brightened first time during March, reaching about 7th magnitude. Now, it gets even to the 5th magnitude. The Nova 2021, also as V1405 Cas, had been discovered by astronomer Zbyněk Henzl even before its flare. I was lucky to spot the nova just before the daybreak on May 10th, 2021, while cirrus clouds were passing in the view. Still, good enough to capture the constellation with its “new star”, marked by the lines in the image. The inset shows nova just in the center. Don't miss the chance to look as well!
