Nova Delphinus 2013 Seen in The Netherlands
Astrophotographer André van der Hoeven captured Nova Delphinus 2013 from HI-Ambacht in The Netherlands on August 16, 2013. He writes: "When I heard the news [about the nova] I pointed my telescope directly to this point, and was able to start some photometry within a few hours after the discovery. It's unbelievable to see how fast the brightness is increasing (and still is)! I have done photometry today and yesterday and it already has increased almost 2 magnitudes. Last night I also made a nice image of the new nova which I think has come out quite nicely.... It shows the bright nova together with NGC 6905, a planetary nebula, also known as the Blue Flash Nebula, just 1.5 days after its initiation."
