Description

Yesterday (23/05/19) a type II supernova was discovered by Astronomer Koichi Itagaki. It can be found in one of the spiral arms of M 101 next to NGC 5461. This is just a 24 minute live stack with the SN circled in yellow. Go to full resolution for a better view. I was just imaging M101 about 2 weeks ago so it has been cool to blink the old data with last nights to see the SN appear.
