First off, let's establish that Nova Bomb defies physics and will always go farther the higher you aim, even at very large angles. Next, there are two ways which I know of to measure vertical angles. The first one is the numerical intervals on the edges of the Shortgaze and Eagleeye scopes. At tick 9, you're at 0 degrees from the horizon and you're at 90 degrees between tick 1 and 2, so it's approximately 12 degrees between each tick. The second method is using MIDA.

Using this and patrol beacons, I came up with the approximate ranges of Vortex Nova Bomb at different angles. All shots are fired from a stationary position without jumping or moving the reticle while casting. MIDA Tick|Scope Tick|Angle|Distance 1st|9| 0 degrees|Right in front of you 2nd|8|12 degrees|22m 3rd|7|24 degrees|33m 4th|6|36 degrees|45m 5th|5|48 degrees|60m 6th|4|60 degrees|75m 7th|3|72 degrees|83m 8th|2|84 degrees|95m Between 8th & 9th|Between 1 & 2|90 degrees|100m Readings are all approximate, but Nova Bomb has a pretty big AoE anyway so you'll probably hit something. Note that elevation also affects where Nova Bomb hits, but the effect is reduced at higher angles due to the steep arc. If you're having trouble memorizing the ranges, you can just settle for remembering that a Vortex Nova Bomb aimed straight up travels 100m. That's about the range of one heavy to the other in Widow's Court, so now you can impress people everytime it comes up in Trials.
