Description

Supernova 2014j in M82 showed up a few days ago (after a 12 million year wait...) and it is easy to see and image. The SN is the only star visible within the nebulosity of M82.

Sky had high thin clouds and my backyard is bathed in the overflow light of a nearby shopping center.

Still, these things don't show up very often, so I grabbed the best shot I could get.
