The isothermal dust condensation of Nova Vulpeculae 1976Nova Vulpeculae 1976 has been followed with broad-band photometry at wavelengths of 0.5 to 12.5 microns from day 3 to day 235. Three definite phases are identified. They are expanding pseudophotosphere, free-free expansion, and dust condensation. A very long (day 80 to day 220) period of isothermal infrared emission (temperature approximately 900 K) is accompanied by an exponential decrease in infrared luminosity and is interpreted in terms of continuous mass ejection in the nova wind.
