The Orbital Period of V368 Aquilae (Nova Aquilae 1936 No. 2)

We report observations of the eclipsing classical nova V368 Aql (Nova Aql 1936 No. 2). These data reveal that the orbital period previously published by Diaz & Bruch is an alias of the true orbital period. A total of 14 eclipses (12 complete and 2 partial) over 25 nights of observation have established that the orbital period of V368 Aql is 0.6905093(1) d (16.57 hr), which is roughly twice the previously published period. With its revised orbital period, V368 Aql now joins other nova systems with periods in excess of 0.5 day that dominate the long end of the orbital period distribution of cataclysmic variables.
