Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri are about 36 minutes of arc apart, so I would think they would appear closer together in the sky. (I’ve never been far enough south to see them.) In other words, the star map is blown up and the nova would appear pretty close to Beta Centauri.

If we all run to one side of the Earth we can rotate the planet just right so we can view the nova ourselves.....
