We observed V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007) over four nights in June, 2010, nearly three years after its nova outburst. Time-resolved photometry was obtained at the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) on Mt. Graham, Arizona, covering 2 to 4 hour spans with a cadence of 30 sec. The first night of data shows a clear 20 minute periodicity with a 0.1 magnitude amplitude. On subsequent nights, power-spectral analysis continues to show variations with a time scale of 20 minutes, but the irregularity of the signal suggests that this is a quasi-periodic oscillation. The 98-minute orbital period is not evident in our observations. V458 Vul is the central star of a planetary nebula. Combining our CCD images suggests a light echo from the nova outburst is scattering off of material in the nebula to the northwest of the central star. Appreciation goes to the National Science Foundation for supporting this project through the Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Notre Dame.
