PNV J19430751+2100204 is a nova candidate (9.8 V) that has been reported to the IAU CBAT Transient Object Confirmation Page (TOCP). Spectroscopic confirmation is needed.
Here's the link to the VSX entry: https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=2389912
A sequence will be created as soon as possible.
Please report your observations to the AAVSO: photometry/visual observations to the AID using WebObs, spectroscopy to AVSpec.
Many thanks, and good observing,
Elizabeth Waagen, AAVSO HQ

Dear Sequence Team, help please with comp stars for BVRI observations of Nova!
30 min field is preferable, but for bright stage field may be larger.

It looks heavily reddened, not surprising.

I did a time series this night, about 2 hours. It was slowing down.

Two hours of Ic photometry of V0615 Vul centered on JD 2460535.605 shows flickering of amplitude 0.015 mag with period 4.11 minutes (mean), 3.88 minutes (median) +/-1.57 min. (st. dev.).

A period search using Generalized Lomb-Scargle and DCDFT (Ferraz-Mellow) on the above 2 hrs Ic photometry gives a flicker period of 4.377 +/- 0.346 minutes. Observations have been uploaded to WebObs.
