SuperNova in NGC 1097

Here you can see NGC1097 (nicknamed "The Eye of Horus"), a southern Seyfert Galaxy located in Fornax constellation. A new bright Type II Supernova (2023rve), was discovered on 2023 September 9th: it's located 11.9" west and 127.4" north of the center of NGC1097. At the time of discovery the magnitude was 13.9.
This image has been taken 6 days after the discovery, on 2023 September 14th , with ASA Newton 500mm f/3.8 from Rio Hurtado, Chile. The final image is a composition with another session, taken in January 2023 with RC1000 f/6.8: in the round boxes there is a comparison between the spiral arm before and after the cataclysmic event.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
