Figure 1:
A 2 arcmin wide subset of two different R band images taken on
January 11, 2000 (left panel) and October 20, 2000 (right panel). North is at
the top and East is to the left. The left frame shows no star at the position
marked by a circle while right frame shows a star (nova NMS-1) of brightness
 mag at that position. |

Figure 2: R, I light curves of the nova NMS-1 during outburst where filled and open circles represent R and I magnitudes respectively. The arrow indicates the time where the nova falls 2 mag below its maximum brightness. |

Figure 3:
A 2 arcmin wide subset of two different R band images taken on
January 17, 2001 (left panel) and October 19, 2001 (right panel). North is at the
top and East is to the left. The left frame shows no star at the position
marked by a circle while right frame shows a star (nova NMS-2) at that position

Figure 4: R, I light curve of the nova NMS-2 during outburst is shown in upper panel where filled and open circles represent R and I magnitudes respectively. The colour variation of the nova NMS-2 is shown in the lower panel. |

Figure 5: R, I light curves of the nova NMS-1 and its colour variation during the outburst is shown in the upper panels a1) and a2) respectively. VJHKL data along with the colour variation of the nova Herculis 1991, taken from the literature, is plotted in the lower panels b1) and b2) respectively, to compare the behaviour of the two novae. Here t, t0 and t2 indicate the time of observation, time of the maximum brightness and rate of decline respectively. |
