Scientific paper

UBV observations of Nova Cygni 1978 obtained during the first three months after outburst are presented. Mean light and colour curves are constructed and discussed. The most probable distance is 2.3 kpc, yielding a V magnitude of -6.8 m at maximum, which makes the nova somewhat underluminous for its fast development. The path of the nova in the two-colour diagram is used to derive temperatures and radii for about two months after outburst. The bolometric magnitude remained nearly constant for 8 d after visual maximum.
