An Exploding Star in the Constellation Centaur



An exploding star or nova re- emerged and this time only the southern part of the sky astronomers who can see it . Found on December 2, by Hunters Nova of Australia John Seach , using a DSLR camera he managed to find a new nova in the constellation Centaur exact location on the west side of Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri . Nova is found to have apparent magnitude of 5.5 . In November 26th last , John Seach did not find a shooting and a bright star with 5.5 magnitudosemu all of which existed before the stars are dim . On December 2, 2013 , appeared a bright star with apparent magnitude of 5.5 and it is a stellar explosion that is re-coloring the sky toward the end of 2013 .
     Later at night on December 3 , Ernesto Guido , Nick Howes , and Martino Nicolini using 20 inch diameter robotic telescope tries to look closer . The results of their observations indicate that the explosion of the hydrogen emission lines show a very strong and has apparent magnitude 5.5 but not 4.7 or 4.6 so it is still bright enough to be observed using binoculars or telescopes amateur class . The explosion of this star has a name PNV J13544700 - 5909080 or Nova Centauri 2013

     You are interested in watching ? Wake up in the morning around 03.00 am until the rising of the sun and find the constellation of Centaurus dibelahan southern sky . Nova is shining in the west of Beta Centauri or Hadar with coordinates RA 13h 54m 45s and declination -59 ° 09.1 ' . Because of its quasi fairly dim magnitude 4.7 or 4.6 suggested that the observations were made using binoculars or a telescope . But if you want to take a picture using a DSLR camera , with a standard 18 - 55mm lens , 30 second exposure and clear sky conditions - nova can already be detected . If you want to use a telescope and look for the StarChart , you can use Starchart of AAVSO nova where the location is in the middle StarChart .
