Description

Supernova SN2023IXF in the Pinwheel Galxay, M101, was discovered this past week. It has been posted on the internet, FB, IG, Reddit...
I had been imaging M101 last week. After hearing this news I checked my stacked image From May 15, 17 and 18, sure enough it was there. What I hadn't realized until I saw the following post: [url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/zwoasiusers/posts/1937959446563094/?__cft__[0]=AZXmfTBGKzOAV5OsFaN9BXBAFUVBTA3m1i4_z-hSHs4MSAPBA-hYMikLDBo321MjXok1K_azLHGYiotc_A-KeLGKaGQqHkAMQEWePyAEstCLjjHO2GXXU5zqkLo_wIyj3XnT6ZZA43EFNFC1--d5ba8WZYGUzR10I1UBe_T2j8BvbtJNNCr1zawmkwB433n8wLtDxAVTP2qaEmFfxH_NKO0E&__tn__=-UK-y-R]https://www.facebook.com/groups/zwoasiusers/permalink/1937959446563094/[/url] was that I may have captured the Pinwheel just before and after the discovery. When I looked at my stacked images from the 15th and the 17-18th I quickly realized that it wasn't visible the image from the15th. But sure, enough it is in the image from the 17-18th.
