Hi
I was lucky enough to co-discover Nova Sgr 2023 (https://www.aavso.org/aavso-alert-notice-813) and I just like to say that AstroArt 8 played a big part in that. I use the blinking functionality to discover the transient and performed astrometry with AA8 to confirm the position. I use an 85mm lens so I appreciate the astrometry is not that precise but it's good enough when reporting a discovery position.
I find AA8 the best piece of software out there for my nova patrol.
Regards
Andrew Pearce

Awesome!
So you're using an 85mm camera lens on an equatorial mount?
