Dr. John Barentine FRAS on Nostr: The new classical #nova V462 Lupi (=Nova Lupi 2025, 15h08m03.27s -40°08'29.6" ...
The new classical #nova V462 Lupi (=Nova Lupi 2025, 15h08m03.27s -40°08'29.6" J2000.0) imaged at about 03:45 UTC on the 19th. Discovered a few days ago, it's probably near maximum light now. I estimated its visual magnitude at around +5.4 tonight. Low in the sky from this latitude, but not hard to find with binoculars.
