Supernova SN2014J - slight recovery ?

[John]

I've just been having a peek at our SN in M82 and I fancy that it is just a tad brighter than last time I looked a couple of nights back ?.

My notes had it then at around mag 12.3 / 12.4 but tonight it seems to closely match a nearby mag 12.1 star. 

Or is my eye deceiving me ?

Bit hazy here, so not easy to tell. My best guess is 12.5. Will check again if it clears up later.

A difference in transparency maybe? My SQM meter can show around .3 mag difference at times.

had a look myself tonight and I did think it was brighter also....but could be as mike says...

[John]

Yes, I agree, it could just as easily be seeing conditions rather than any actual brightening. 

It's still quite a prominent SN - nice that it's hung around long enough to let so many folks get a good look at it

Seems not want give up on us yet. The latest light curves can be seen here with little change lately.

I'll have another go tonight, if possible. BBC forecast is now showing clear, although its cloudy overhead in actual fact... . Be nice to see the sn again before it fades for good.

I thought it seemed a little brighter the other night when I saw it again after weeks of being clouded out hear,
