After its peak, the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx continues to slowly fade, still being an easy target. Here are CCD images and data captured on 01 & 02 Aug. via the Virtual Telescope Project. Both...

We have been following galactic nova ASASSN-17hx quite intensively these days and we likely observed its maximum of light. Here they are our 29 and 31 July CCD images. Both the images in the composed panel...

Perhaps we are there: the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx might be sitting right now on its maximum of light, after a long and slow rising march, but faster these last nights. Here they are our...

The galactic nova ASASSN-17hx continues to amaze us: it is now continuously brightening, day after day, making observers happy to have such an easy-to-see erupting star out there. We have just found it at...

You might be used to hear this, but we are happy to say it again: the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx is still rising, now shining at mag. 8.8 on our CCD images! So, we were...

More than one month after its discovery, the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx is still climbing! Last night we spotted it as bright as mag. 9.4 in our CCD images and we bet it will do...

After one week from our previous observation, we looked for the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx again, finding it brighter, at least on CCD images! This objects continues to shines for most of the night, waiting...

In less than one month, the galactic nova ASASSN-17hx has increased its brightness of about 2 full magnitudes, being now accessible with small telescopes and binoculars. Below is a new image and an animation,...

A new galactic nova, ASASSN-17hx, as just be confirmed in Scutum. Since its discovery, it increased its brighness significantly, becoming accessible to small telescopes. Let’s hope it will brighten more and more. The image above...
