Thank you for the input, Christophe

3 points:
- the processus of publication can be very long
- it was my second nova : http://www.astronomie-amateur.fr/feuill ... 2009.html , just after Nova Sct 2009. I was very happy that I decided to buy a lhires after OHP Shelyak star party.
- look at the lightcurve: the nova event was detected 10 days after the maximum luminosity at mag 5!
