If history is any indicator, a composite light curve of the 1902, 1920, & 1944 eruptions in Burnham’s Celestial Handbook shows a rise to +7 mag. in about 20 days, staying above +8 for about 60. That would put it about in binocular range. Certainly, it will be interesting to see how its long absence affects its return; will T Pyx reach naked eye visibility? It’s not out of the question; hunting coordinates are;<br /><br />Right Ascension: 09 Hours 04’ 41.5”<br /><br />Declination: -32 22’ 47.4”Science newshttp://www.thesciencenews.info/2011/04/new-galaxys.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-59358730265641055462011-05-04T07:29:26.360+02:002011-05-04T07:29:26.360+02:00Yesterday I along with the members of the Kutch Am...Yesterday I along with the members of the Kutch Amateur Astronomers' Club, Bhuj-India saw the Nova using a 6-inch Newtonian.
