Taken at 8:31 pm EDT, with a Canon Digital Rebel XSi on a German equatorial mount, 55 mm focal length, 30 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 800. Delphinus is in the lower-left corner and Sagitta is labeled right of center (note the Coathanger above-right of the tail of Sagitta). The Nova is in the labeled group left of center (see close-up below). Numerical values indicate the magnitude of the respective stars (the decimal points have been dropped, so 347 = magnitude 3.47).

 

 

Here's a close-up cropped from the area around the Nova (which is the brighter object above the "Nova" label).
