We checked our observations' archive in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Unfortunately in the day of discovery our cameras were turned off, but we have a picture taken a day earlier, and in this picture the nova is not seen. In a picture taken on September 7th the nova has brightness nearly 9.8 magnitudo.
"Pi of the Sky" images 200x200 pixels = 2°x2°. K2a camera is equipped with an R-filter, while k2d camera observing in visible light. Pictures from k2a camera are on the left side, from k2d - on the right (click in the picture to enlarge):
