Abstract

In 1978, "One Man's Nova Patrol" was presented at an AAVSO meeting about the author's then-recently commenced visual nova program. Some progress in visual nova patrolling has occurred in the interim. This paper corrects some errors present in "One Man's Nova Patrol," reviews the general state of visual work, and gives a description of my current binocular program.
