Nova 2007 6 - Extragalactic Nova in M31 (2007-03-04), Attempted Observation

Nova 2007 6 in M31  (Andromeda)
Unannounced discovery of nova on 2007/03/04.763 by Kamil Hornoch
At brightest the nova was recorded at +16.7 (+15.8 ?)
(Extragalactic Novae page at Rochester Supernova site | Discovery Image | )
 
Nova 2007 6 in M31,   2007-03-15 (T+11d)
Image below (2007-03-15) was taken 11 days after discovery.
Neither the original image or the enhanced image
show any indication of the nova at it's recorded position (indicated by white circle)
This suggests that at 11 days after discovery the nova has now faded to below mag +17.5
