M100 Supernova: 19th January 2020

[Craney]

From last night  (  so early morning  19th Jan 2020 )  .

There was a high hazy cloud up until midnight which was playing havoc with any sustained tracking.  Things improved into the morning so I slewed the C8 Edge over to Coma Berenices for a peek .

Initial subs revealed the core with an offset egg shape.   These images are stacked Luminosity ( 18x 2 mins)  with an ATIK 414 mono.    CCd67  (0.67x) reducer on the SCT 

 

Right image is an enlarged central zone.... and there it is.

 

 

 

 

I know there was a few of us out there in the pre-dawn frost trying to get this.  Interesting to see other captures.    I will try to add some colour if I can stay awake.

Nicely done Sean

Well caught.  I tried for this myself, but I didn't really have the right OTA available and guiding didn't go well for some reason.  I could definitely see the SN in the test subs I tried though.

Nice one Sean, I also imaged this last night/ this morning around 3 ish onwards .Not got round to processing so am not sure what I have yet. Will post when I have done them.

Same night, around midnight, I only had  time to get about 20 mins of data, but here it is for whats its worth. You can just make out the SN in the shot from one sub, otherwise I have over exposed the core (!):
