Position(2000): R.A. = 19h48m08s.89, Dec. = +21o15'26".8

The nova is at approximately magnitude 8. The first spectra observations suggest that the nova is probably at the pre-maximum stage; so an increase in luminosity is possible.
(A pair of binoculars should show up the new star)

I thought novae got brighter in a single stage.

Hum,
i think this one has a P Cygni profie.

Could it be using a ferociously strong solar wind to push away dust and gas currently partly obscuring it?
