Nova outbursts are the result of strong thermonuclear runaways on the surfaceof a white dwarf accreting Hydrogen-rich material from a small mass companion.These giant explosions cause the star to increase its brightness by hundreds ofthousands of times then making these objects powerful standard candles usefulto measure the extragalactic distances.We have used the Very Large Telescope,located in the Chilean Atacama desert, to search for novae in NGC 1316--anearly type galaxy in the Fornax cluster. We discovered 4 novae with 3h ofobserving time. The use of 8-10m class telescopes coupled with new detectors,can dramatically improve the efficiency of nova searches in extragalacticsystems.Comment: 4 pages + 2 plot
