Not totally sure the cameras are going to pick it up unless you have really dark skies |

Hi , just had the idea whether one could create a module to track the recurring nova in T CrB. The way I thought it could work: define an area on the sensor which includes the pixels which would show T CrB bright if the nova happens. If the constellation overlay is properly aligned then it should be possible from this data to also rotate that virtual area along with the other stars over the course of a night. I would imagine that probably 3x3 pixels could do the job. Normally, it is dark. But if the nova happens, one would then see these pixels receive some light. If that happens, a pushover notification could be sent. (for that one could use the pushdata module, send it via MQTT to let's say a NodeRED server which then creates a pushover notification).
