Nova Persei 2018

During last days I observed Nova Persei 2018 (V392 Per) using Canon EOS 600D with telephoto lens and small Newtonian.
The nova is quickly dimming; light curve based on my observation shows quick drop of brightness with subsequent temporary brightening and continuing dimming. The first 7 points obtained using Jupiter 37A 135-mm lens; the last points were obtained with 150mm f/5 Newtonian.
The nova is marked by dashes, it has distinct reddish color caused by H-alpha emission line.
