Description

This is a Supernova in NGC4568. The supernova was discovered on April 1st 2020. The galaxy is an interacting Galaxy that is merging with NGC4567 and is 62 Million light years from our little planet.

This project took about 3 days to complete when I had some clear skies with good weather. The little telescope did good!

I was able to resolve some very faint galaxies in this. Most were +17-+18 mag but one was reported by Skysafari Pro to be +20.2. Very surprised at this with my little 8" Edge HD.

I was able to resolve some smaller 17 and one 20 mag galaxies in this image so I am pretty happy with the results.
