[nytecam]

Tonight's pic of the current brightest supernova around eg SN2012ei in NGC 5611 in Bootes in late twilight and hazy conditions @ est. ~m13.5 and thus visible in medium to large 'scopes

Thanks for posting the image, good to see it - it's to dim for me to observe.

Hi Andrew - yes a bit faint visually but not for the cam - just 5sec exposure clearly recorded it [my normal SN hunt exp = 30s-60s and move on!].

BTW - my date on pic above wrong and should read 2012 Sep 1.86UT but don't think I'll resubmit here as such info is largely irrelevant to this forum

And why would that information be IRRELEVANT on this forum ?

If the info is so above the heads of Ordinary Joe then why post it in the first place ?

Steve.

I'm sorry but I agree - I think saying something is irrelevent in this forum is insulting!

There must be a sign somewhere that says 'no scientific data - just pretty pictures, please' - I just can't seem to find it......

Awesome shot nytecam.

It's a pity that's not going to show much expansion over time at mag 13

Tonight brief shot of supernova in late twilight and some haze - it's holding at ~m13.5
