Supernovae

[Bill S]

I have been looking at one or two supernovae recently.

SN 2021fxy is in NGC 5018 and was reasonably easy to spot at a magnitude of about 14.

The supernova is marked in this selection.

 

SN 2021hiz is in IC 3322A (also called UGC 7513). It's a type 1a supernova of mag 13ish.

I am much less confident I have caught SN 2021J in NGC 4414. It was about magnitude 14 in mid-March and it may well have faded.

Anyway it's snapshot of the galaxy at the very least.

Nice to have some clear nights! They've gone now.

Cheers

Bill

Excellent work Bill. Funny how a bright star suddenly appearing gives us such a buzz. I have a few SN on my list as well.
