Looks to be a bright nova, still really cool. Here is the IAU Central Bureau on this object: http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J20233073+2046041.html Visual mag. at 6.0 to 6.3. Should brighten in the next several days. Best views are south of the Salt Lake Valley right now due to smoke. Just pulled in at home and was going to put the refractor in the backyard from the car but too much smoke right now. Bummer. I wanted to really study it and sketch it. Hopefully soon. Here is the link to the S&T chart similar to Pocket Sky Atlas for this object. Should be more than viewable if the smoke goes away from the urban setting. http://media.skyandtelescope.com/documents/Nova_in_Delphinus_PSA64.pdf
