New supernova discovered in Delphinus

This new star in Delphinus has been Nova Delphini 2013. Click image for large version.
This is a quick shot of the new nova in the constellation Delphinus which I shot from the front driveway a few minutes ago between gaps in the clouds. The "star" (it's really an exploding star) is easy to spot in this four-second exposure which was taken with my Nikon D7000. Read more about the nova here.
