I added Nova Cas 2021 to the Current Bright Novae and Supernovae list. It is mag 7.9.
Startools 4 Observing List "Current Bright Novae and Supernovae" shows Nova Cas 2021 as the alternate ID for V405 Cas. But standard sources, including
  https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-ne...assiopeia/
show the nova to be newly designated V1405 Cas, not V405 Cas.

Recent reports from AAVSO at https://app.aavso.org/webobs/results/?st...esults=200 show the current magnitude to be about 10, not mag 8.4 shown in the  "Current Bright Novae and Supernovae" observing list.

Clear skies,  Howard
Thanks Howard. I fixed the typo. The typo was causing it to not update the magnitude properly.

SkyTools. I wish those guys who made Startools had listened to me when I asked them nicely to pick a different name. But they just got angry with me for even suggesting it (and they were still testing the original version at the time).
