Hi all !
We were able to observe the AT2024abqt nova in the beautiful environment of M33 in the Triangle. The magnitude was measured at MagV 16.98 +/- 0.01, with an L filter and the V-values of the GAIA-DR2 catalog.

Great observations ! Congratulations!
This is indeed a very interesting target. Nicely visible at the beginning of the night.

Friends from TJMS (@vienney_j_m 77 Buthiers France) were able to get spectra from at2024abqt .
This is clearly a nova with a strong Ha emission line. I expect they will publish their results quickly here.
