The Study

This paper presents a detailed scientific investigation of Nova Vulpeculae 1968 No. 2, discovered by astronomer Luboš Kohoutek. It examines the nova’s light curve, photographic observations and changing spectrum, supported by tables, diagrams and an astronomical photographic plate.

Academic Provenance

The front cover bears a University of St Andrews Department of Astronomy Library stamp dated 27 January 1970, providing attractive and relevant academic provenance.

Condition

The pale green outer covers show age-related toning and discolouration, particularly around the edges. There is localised rust staining from the original staples near the inner margin.

The internal printed pages are otherwise exceptionally well preserved for their age—clean, crisp, flat and remarkably fresh, with sharp text, tables and illustrations.

Approximate size: 24 × 17 cm.

Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Given the remarkably fresh condition of the internal pages, the original could also be retained for viewing in a glazed display case or cabinet within a university, observatory, library, laboratory or private scientific collection.
