We report the discovery of an optical nova in M31 on four consecutive dithered R filter CCD images (each with 100 sec exposure) obtained on 2007 July 25.92564, 25.92714, 25.92865, 25.93015 with corresponding R magnitudes of 18.1, 18.2, 18.1, 18.1 obtained at the 1.3m f/7.5 telescope at Skinakas Observatory, Crete, Greece, using an Andor DZ436-BV CCD Camera. The position obtained for the nova candidate is RA(2000) = 00 42 43.29 , Dec(2000) = +41 17 44.10 with an accuracy of 0.2".
