Type II supernova SN2022acko

[bomberbaz]

Discovered December 6 and magnitude 16.5 at the time of discovery. Located in NGC 1300 which is 72 Mil LY away.  

For those in Northern hemisphere it is well located in Eridanus.  From 53 Lat it is at 17 degrees on southern horizon at 22.00 GMT. 

Here is an image from an eVscope user.

Too low for me but here is another further north of a different type, ( a type 1a, an exploded white dwarf). SN 2022aaiq is  in NGC 5631 under the pole  in Ursa Major so the further north you are the better !)

Discovered by amateur Patrick Wiggins three weeks ago, it is still currently  mag 14. It is quite close to the galaxy core though so might be an interesting visual challenge ? (I am not a regular visual observer)  Here is a typical image by Wim Cuppens

and my spectrum (in black) overlaid on a matching type 1a spectrum

I got this last night, thanks for the heads up. Very easily found and seen. Used my own eVscope to get it, too cold to go after it visual.
