Soon like tomorrow or soon like 1000 years?

  Also soon as in 3000 years ago.

  Do you know how we know it's about to go nova ? Is it because we noticed increased activity or is there something else ?
Stacked from 70 1 sec exposures with my Canon Powershot SX530HS. Full image.
Here's to hoping you have clear skies over the next weeks/months :)
with my luck it's gonna pop in november just after it sinks behind some trees for the season
- Time to get the chainsaw out! :P
  
  I'll probably see about setting up on my roof for a less treeful view; maybe you can do the same, or just go somewhere with a better view.
