Summer Solstice Supernova 2019hsw

[fireballxl5]

I don't normally do much deep sky imaging in June but I saw a report of supernova 2019hsw in NGC2805 and thought I'd give it a go over Friday evening/Saturday morning, 21st/22nd June.

So this is just a stack of nine 10-minute subs through a luminance filter using my 150mm f7.3 refractor and mono CCD, working at 0.69 arcsec/pixel. Also in the frame are NGC2820/2820A and NGC2014.

The good thing was that NGC2805, over in Ursa Major was well away from the rising 80% illuminated Moon, but it was much nearer to the Sun, barely 12 degrees below the horizon😬

 Some details of the SN are over on http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html#2019hsw.

Looking forward to clear, darker skies...hopefully!

.. and nearer to the Noctilucent clouds.....  some 10 degrees above the horizon.....  double  😬  !!

yes, they did effect my guiding at times but I did manage to capture a shot of them earlier in the evening.

maybe, this is the 5th SN that I've bagged now but this has been over the last 10 years, so I'm not very productive🙄

My list is as follows...

2009dd in NGC4088

2011fe in M101

2017eaw in NGC6946

2017ein in NGC3938

2019hsw in NGC2805

PS, when I say bagged, I simply mean that I have followed up a previously announced discovery😀

I've seen that pattern somewhere before........ cue some atmospheric music....

Do it... those 5 were probably without actively trying... once you're hunting your collection will add up.

Ahhhh...Pulsar CP1919....know it well.  Much faster than Shadowplay though.
