NGC1365 with Supernova Canon 400mm

[RAC]

Too many clouds here in NZ of late. First shot for over a month and i only got 8 subs before too much high cloud came over, there's a few gradients in it but i was having a fight with clouds crossed with fireworks. I took a quick shot of this galaxy last night when doing some testing and thought i had found a supernova until i googled it and found i was a week late but the fact i found it without knowing about it was very pleasing.

Just 8x5min subs + darks @ ISO800, and lights

Modded 1000D @ -2 degC

Canon 400mm F5.6L @ f5.6

Celestron CGE mount.

Stacked in DSS and processed in PixIsight.

The supernova is the one perfectly just above the core of the galaxy, the more blueish one.

Neat! I see SN2012fr is very bright, but alas too far south for me. Congrats on getting that shot!
