Nova in Reticulum: MGAB-V207 = N Ret 2020 [YZ Ret]

Active Dates: July 2, 2020 – July 16, 2020


Abstract:

A nova in Reticulum named MGAB-V207 = N Ret 2020 (YZ Ret) was discovered by Robert H. McNaught. High-resolution spectroscopy indicates it is a classical nova likely after its optical peak.

Justification:

Observations of all types (visual, PEP, CCD, DSLR, spectroscopy) and multiple bands as instrumentation permits are strongly encouraged as this bright nova evolves.
