SN2014bc in M106 CVn

[nytecam]

SN2014bc in M106 CVn is pretty faint at the moment [m14.8 =Bright Supernova] and very close [few arc-seconds] from the gx core - my pic below from last night through cloud breaks with zoomed/enhanced inset right and my prediscovery image left.  Data on image. Let us know if you have any luck - perhaps it will brighten

If it clears up this coming week I'll have a look for this.

It looks like it could be tough target though.

It better brighten a bit if my 8" is going to stand a chance at it.

8 or 9 magnitudes Ideally but I'll settle for 7.

This image from last night, single 20 minute, 600D modded, iso 1600, finder scope guiding, Bat-mask focused, then i found the DSLR loose in the t-ring and it took half a turn to tighten, didn't refocus, but i don' see and SN ...???

It's only about 3 arcsec from the centre of M106 so imaging it is a challenge and visual observation is probably impossible, even if it brightens.

Visually it probably needs a large scope and high mag EP - here's my 2nd night's shots of the supernova inset in 5s - longer and the core will swamp it  .  The SN is quoted "3" S of core" [bright SN] but I think it's more than that

My image from 17th May (pre discovery). Using 'averted imagination' when studying the core area I thought I could see some elongation in the area of the SN but wouldn't stake my life on it!

10" F4 scope, 15s Lodestar x2

I need to re-image this with my 12" scope to get something definite.

It was discovered rather late (50 days late or more) so I do not think it will brighten very much. Pity, that

Very annoying..

Supernova was clearly available at april 22 when i imaged M106. I was processing my image with color data from other image and avercooked central core of galaxy in image.

I processed luminance data again when i saw this topic and Supernova clearly was there..
