Just another boring old SN2011b pic

[Demonperformer]

OK, I know these are getting boring, but this is mine and so it is, by definition, intrinsically interesting (at least to me:D)

Friday 28th Jan, 30sec subs (plus darks) taken between 7pm and 9pm on canon 1000D, 102mm refractor on altaz mount, no filters, sky/LP conditions 3m5-4m0. Stacked in DSS (95/129 lights used) and then 'tweaked' in GIMP.

So, I've got egg-shaped stars and a posterized galaxy. Know what? I don't care because I have also got the supernova (which was the object of the exercise).

I reckon the result puts it between 3UC 337-022191 (12m65) and 3UC 337-022181 (12m69), probably towards the fainter end of that, so about 12m67/12m68 would be my estimate. I have included a smaller extract with these star magnitudes labelled, so do feel free to argue with me about my brightness estimate.

Thanks for looking.

Amazing how bright it appears, another great shot DP.

I got me one of those too! LOL

A single 10 min sub - then cloud!

brilliant shot! Nice to be able to estimate the brightness as well.

Cheers
