Saw new nova naked eye barely direct vision!
Again on 3/23, 3/24, 3/25 faded to only binocular vision.
Checked magnitude on 3/25 using below chart and finder diagram,
note mini-Sagittarius asterism below Nova!
Nova is circle in middle of diagram. Star HIP 90485 magnitude 5.9
seemed to be comparable in brightness.
Note in evening can still see Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy in Cassiopeia in evening.
Also 3/21 day old new moon was next to Mars.
3/22 2day old moon next to Venus.
Good skys mostly.
Owls hooting one landed in our tree in early evening.
Roses blooming.
Temp was 54 degree early in morning!
