Hamish made me aware today that there is currently a Nova visible in the constellation of Lupus.

I had a search on one of the images I collected on Saturday evening at Lake Rotoiti and it is visible. I have plate solved the image in Pixinsight and then annotated constellation lines and bright named stars.

This Nova is visible in binoculars. The images below, where I have shaded Lupus on the wide angled image and identified the Nova on the zoomed in image, may be of use to locate it should you wish to observe it.

There is information on this Nova, including charts showing its position on both Wikipedia and Sky and Telescope:
