A wide-field night sky photograph showing a dense region of the Milky Way. The sky is filled with countless stars and a bright core band crossing diagonally. Toward the bottom right, a bright spot marks the location of Nova V462 Lupi. The foreground is dark with no visible landscape details.

The same star-filled view of the Milky Way, but with overlaid constellation lines and labels. The constellations Lupus and Scorpius are outlined, along with others near the galactic plane. The position of Nova V462 Lupi is clearly labeled near the Lupus constellation.

Two novas are visible in the southern sky: V462 Lupi and Nova Velorum. Rare sight!
