per the Atel, measured magnitudes were 13.25 and 13.29 using the Canadian 0.15m NEOSSat telescope. So, a bit faint for now but perhaps it is on the way up. no spectra reported yet so a chance for someone on the forum to measure and confirm it.

RA/Dec 06:01:57.310 +39:03:52.70

Cheers,

Now with spectrum. It seems it is a CV, not a classical nova

yep, saw that Atel. did you manage to take a spectrum also, or is it in an unfavourable RA in terms of sun distance?
