Vend62: bright, young possible nova in M31

I've just discovered an ~18.3 magnitudes bright possible nova on my 4x90s images of the Andromeda galaxy made  with a 0.43 m Dall-Kirkham telescope at Alnitak Remote Observatory, Nerpio Spain, with Luminance filter on 2025. July 31.1187UT. 

The nova candidate seems still rising: it was arond 19.0 magnitudes on my 4x90s co-added images made with the same telescope about half an hour earlier than the diccovery images, the same night.

The discovery of Vend62 has been reported as AT 2025sro.

Preliminary co-ordinates of AT 2025sro:  00 42 46.61 +41 18 06.2 (J2000.0).

Vend62 (AT 2025sro)  is still brightening, on my recent images made 6 hours later (July 31.3666UT) with the 0.43m telescope at UDRO it was significantly brighter, around 16.5-17.0 magnitudes.
 

The discovery was made using the Alnitak Remote Observatories robotic telescope network, ARTA program.
