Thursday July 10 to Thursday July 17

The Full Moon is Friday July 11. Mercury is sinking the evening twilight. Mars is lowering in the early evening sky as it moves through Leo. Nova V462 Lupi and Nova V572 Velorum are visible in binoculars, a double nova is rare event. Saturn and Venus are visible in the morning twilight. Saturn is near the Moon on the 16th. Venus passes between Aldebaran and the Pleiades. Look for the constellation Corona Borealis in the late evening, the blaze star T Coronae Borealis (TCrB) may go Nova eventually.  

The Full Moon is Friday July 11.

Nova V426 Lupi faint (around magnitude 5.7, at the unaided eye threshold) but still holding its (faint) brightness and is currently around magnitude 5.9. It may be glimpsed by those with good visual acuity under dark sky conditions.  However, it is best with binoculars or a small telescope. It is well placed for southern hemisphere observers and visible from the early evening on. The bright stars beta and delta Lupi are clear guideposts to the nova. It is joined in the Southern sky by nova V572 Velorum.

The nova is likely to fade over the coming days, and it is worthwhile following it as it does so. You may want to keep a record of its magnitude over this time.

A nova has erupted in the constellation of Vela, the sail. Known as nova V572 Velorum it is faint (around magnitude 5.7-5.8, at the unaided eye threshold) and may be glimpsed by those with good visual acuity under dark sky conditions. However, it is best with binoculars of a small telescope. It is well placed for southern hemisphere observers and visible from the early evening on. It is close to the Southen Pelaides (Theta Carina) and the eta Carina nebula. It is also not far for the nova V462 Lupi. The nova is likely to fade over the coming days, and it is worthwhile following it as it does so. You may already be doing this for V462 Lupi. You may want to keep a record of its magnitude over this time.
 
Having two "bright" novae in the sky at the same time, and in similar patches in the sky is rare,  "On March 22, 2018, Nova Circinis 2018 reached a peak brightness of magnitude 5.8 , and on that same day, Nova V906 Carinae peaked at around magnitude 5.9."
