Supernova 2020bio in NGC5371

[gorann]

Gary Imms posted an image of NGC5371 from 15 February on Astrobin, and Gotthard Stuhm commented that he had captured a supernova. I imaged the same galaxy and a few more on 13 March without knowing that there was a supernova there, so when I now had another look at the image, it is still there but a bit more dim than in Gary's image taken a month earlier. So here is my image from 13 March and a crop with the supernova pointed out.

Quite fun to have accidentaly captured that supernova before it faded away - maybe it is gone now.....

Gary Imms' February image is here:
