This is a crop of the previous picture. On the middle-right you can see here an interesting galaxy behind of the Milky Way dust with catalog number PGC66592 with Supernova 2001fh.
The PGC 66592 spiral galaxy lies behind the Cygnus region of the Milky Way. It is very much dimmed and reddened by the dust in our galaxy. Because of this reddening it is closer and brighter than it appears. Based on its published red-shift, a rough distance estimate is 205 million light years.
The Supernova 2001fh was discovered in 2001. P. Martin and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of an apparent supernova in unfiltered images taken with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) on Nov. 3.2 (mag about 17.2) and 5.2 UT (mag about 16.9). SN 2001fh is located at R.A. = 21h20m42s.50, Decl. = +44o23'53".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".6 east and 6".3 south of the nucleus of PGC 66592. A KAIT image taken on Oct. 27.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.5).
