Bright Supernova in Virgo - 2022hrs

[Littleguy80]

Bright Supernova reported in Virgo. Host galaxy is NGC 4647 which is right next to M60. I observed the SN last night with my 10" dob. Currently it's list at Mag 13.0 and has been brightening the past few nights.

I found this image really helpful in identifying the SN.

Thanks for the heads-up on this SN @Littleguy80

So, early this morning I still had motivation to image this brightening supernova and I'd estimate a brightness of mag 12 at the time of my imaging run (between 1:30-2:45).

15x300s (1.25h) OSC BIN1 subs with IDAS D2 LP filter on the RC6. Captured using ASIair-Pro, processed in PI.

Brilliant image, Andy. Thanks for posting. Lovely to see a capture like that after seeing it at the eyepiece!

Observed the SN again this evening. Best views at 240x but comfortably seen in direct vision at 120x. Seems to be brighter than previous viewing. Mid to low mag 12 based on comparison to other nearby stars.

State of play as of 2200UT 24April:

It's getting as bright as the entire galaxy..

 

8" Newt, QHY183, IDAS LP1, 14* 300 sec subs, dark frame subtraction, no flats, no bias.

23:00- 23:20 25/04/2022  19x60sec with ZS61

Nudging towards mag 12.

So last night I managed to capture about 250 x 20 sec subs/images of M60 & NGC4647, about 1hr 25mins of data with my ASI533 MC Pro.  Seeing conditions weren't A1, but nice to capture events like these.

Used Meade LX10 with a 6.3 Reducer.

Great image. The SN is super bright compared to the host galaxy.

Very true.......I'm hoping to grab a few more subs tonight as well.......slight cloud here though at the minute.

It's great when everyone has a go at the same target

I will have to break out the 10 inch and see if I can find this.

Isn't that the way it always is.  If it isn't the moon, it's the clouds.

My partner loved it when I went out with the scope during the winter....it gave her a chance to watch wall-to-wall soap operas! Now, by the time it's dark enough to go out, she's safely tucked up in bed....😆

But the time it gets dark enough it's time to think about hitting the sheets.  0500 comes way to early these days.

I grabbed a few more images the night before last.....next I will try to incorporate them with my others

I tried using Siril and added about 500 pics.......still haven't got it weighed off for adding FLATs mind....
