Despite the cold (and possible rainshower while I was watching the footie) , followed by heavy dew turning to ice, I had a go at seeing SN 2021J. Finding NGC 4414 across from Cor Caroli (alpha Canum Venaticorum) was not too difficult. 4414 has a fairly bright core and I must confess that although I thought - maybe - with averted vision I could see the SN in question just fractionally  (relatively) to the south and west of the centre - I can't honestly say for sure.  So mixed bag really.  Still a good exercise and an opportunity for me to make a rare post about not very much  (and show off my knowledge of Latin plural genitives!😇)

Still waiting to nail my second SN for sure.
