The OMB-nova-supernova monitoring in ISSP collaboration, R.Belligoli, F.Castellani, C.Marangoni, reports the discovery of a PNV in M81. The nova was clearly detected on '2020-11-26.13686' UT using 25 x 300s frames (7500s total) obtained by a Moravian G4-9000 KAF unfiltered CCD with the 0.4m f.8 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope from Monte Baldo "A.Gelodi" Astronomic Observatory, località Novezzina, Ferrara di Monte Baldo, Verona, Italy. The discovery magnitude is 19.0±0.5 mag in the CV band (clear visual). We will continue to monitor the nova light curve and strongly encourage additional follow-up observations.
