alanjgreen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Assuming we get some clear early morning sky (after the Devils Orb has left the building) then there are two faint SN that are well placed for observing: - SN2019aik in NGC3304 (mag 16.5) Type 1A - SNAT2019arb in UGC7367 (mag 16.6) Type 1A They are faint but if you don't look then you never know... if you find the galaxy then you should find the SN. They are both Type 1A so they should get brighter and last for a couple of months. http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html?#2019aik http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html?#2019arb SN2019aik Its is tight in so that may make it more difficult but it seems to stand out well against the core in the above recent image. SNAT2019arb The more the merrier! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Will have a try for them, I'm still imaging the NGC3254 SN off and on when there's a bit of clear sky, its brightness seems to have stabilised ATM Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the one in NGC3304 with the 10"SCT but couldn't even find the galaxy in the second one, have to plate solve an image tomorrow to make sure I'm in the right spot but I went from Phad to Hip60122 easily enough then a short hop to UGC7367 but it was nowhere to be found although the sky is very murky it's pretty straight up ATM 1.30am.

Paul73 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I love a good SN hunt. One for another night here. Yes, the stars are out, but I’ve seen more transparent soups than tonight’s Sky! Had a happy hour wizzing around Virgo. Not worth spending ages straining to see faint stuff through the murk, but still managed 10 fuzzies in the chain.

alanjgreen Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 I managed to bag AT2019arb this morning, here is an excerpt from my posted observing report... SN AT2019arb (UGC7367) – This was a far easier supernova. With the 27mm, the host galaxy was bright and easy. An extended brighter section above the core was the supernova. I swapped in the DeLite 18.2 and then the Ethos 13mm for more magnification to try to get a “split” between the core and the SN, but each time the galaxy lost brightness and the detail was less easy to see! NGC3304 had moved too far west of my shed, so I was not able to attempt it. I will try again once the Devils Orb starts to wain... Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
