Nova Her 2021

Thank you Chris Bailey a fellow member of Breckland Astronomical Society for sharing the link yesterday of a new Nova found in the constellation of Hercules. Just 9 hours 9 minutes later I was imaging this myself. Spot the odd one out?, ok a little help then. Not the cataclysmic event of the type 1a Supernova exploding, this one appears to be a white dwarf star swallowing some extra material and brightening considerable in a very short time.

30 x 2 minutes frames captured from 22.03 last night from my home observatory using my Skywatcher Ed100 triplet, ZWO ASI294mc pro, ASI Air pro.
