Thanks again Alan - I am certainly starting with the first two SN you listed.

Here is my report from last night...

Thanks Alan.

I've just managed to spot SN 2020hvf. NGC 3643 not visible in my 12 inch scope at 199x tonight but the SN is clear and noticably brighter than a nearby mag 13.15 star.

Next one is 2020jfo. Much easier host galaxy but much dimmer SN !

Just managed to get SN 2020jfo in M61 as well. Quite tough ar mag 14.4 but I'm pretty confident I've spied it where I've indicated on the Stellaruim generated chart below. Pleased to get these two
