Supernova in M95

[John]

I posted this in a thread earlier on the Virgo supernova but I then thought it deserved a little thread of it's own . I'm clouded out now but I'm pleased to have spotted this one:

Yep - I think I've spotted the M95 SN

I'm using my 10" newtonian and the 8mm Ethos eyepiece. It looks around mag 12.5 or so just now I reckon.

I'm using the 10" newtonian view on this web page as a finder chart (the pic below the photo):

The SN looks to me around the same brightness as the mag 12.5 star to the east of M95.

My 6th supernova

Edit: After further observation I'd revise my brightness estimate for the SN down a bit - mag 12.8 perhaps ?. It's proving just a little harder to see than the mag 12.5 star.
