SN 2024gy and something else...


Recommended Posts

Finally managed to image this last night, Lum only as my extended unattended session did not play ball. SN 2024gy is still clearly visible with 46 mins of integration.

But what is that curious dragonfly shaped object to the bottom right of the centre galaxy? It isn't a specific scope/camera artefact as it is present on the Red channel data that I managed to collect, which is a duplicate scope and camera, see close up crops below. I have checked other images of this area and can't see it, any ideas? If it is a drone then it stayed stationary for quite a while, could it be a geostationary satellite? If so then I'm chuffed that I captured it in some detail!
