ASASSN-17mt is a nova discoered by the ASAS-SN survey on Sep 24 (http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=10772), was spectroscopically confirmed (http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=10795), but poorly covered  by the AAVSO community. It now appears to have been detected with Fermi as a GeV gamma-ray source (http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=10977).

Please observe this nova - it's still bright (about 10.5) and is favorably placed on the sky, unlike PNV J17184504-2454221. We will be organizing multi-wavelength observations over the next days and weeks.

Thanks - Koji Mukai

favorably placed on the sky?
