SN2023IXF

[fortytwo]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if, or where I can find data relating to the brightness of SN2023IXF?

I've seen one entry that says it started to dim on the 10th June but want to find more offical information.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to take my SW200 Explorer on the annual family holiday to re-image it, but if I do we have to take 2 cars which doesn't go down well if I don't use it 😂

Thankyou in advance.

Jeff

It seems to be around magnitude 12.5 or 12.6 visually, according to this (latest record is at the bottom of the list):

Supernova 2023ixf in M101 (rochesterastronomy.org)

That seems to tally with the last time I observed it which was a few days ago now.

Fantastic, might be a visual item in my 10" Meade scope! We are just getting our nights back next week, clouds allowing I'll check it out.
