Update on Nova V1281 Sco - No go.
Got up this morning and hunted for nova V1281 Sco. V1280 was still readily visible, even to the unaided eye (very good conditions this morning), and still around magnitude 5.2. However, in the rough location of V1281 Sco there was nothing down to around magnitude 8. Guess it has faded then.
Edit: Images on Ice in Space from avondonk show the second nova, it is definitely below mag 8. There is a nice field comparison in this thread as well.
