I should have read the link first, it shows you there I got a bit over excited

M74 should be visible now, though waning gibbous moon may make it hard to see the galaxy itself, the mag ~12 star shouldn't be too hard. No doubt by the time I finish work it'll stay cloudy..

It is supposed to be cloud free here tomorrow night so hopefully I will get the chance to see it Thank you for the heads up.

My 1st shot of SN early this Sunday morning rising due east - data on image Should be an easy object in small/medium sized scopes. Good luck.
