Supernova SN 2024gy, in NGC 4216, slowly fading 5 weeks after discovery

I shot NGC 4216 and its neighbors in Apr. 2023 (one of my first Astrobin posts). Little did I know that a nice supernova would appear in this galaxy 10 months later. Naturally, I had to go back and take a look. The seeing was soft and I had to trash lots of subs due to wind and other problems, but the SN is readily visible even with a modest amount of integration time. Pretty cool. But viewing SN 2024gy with my own eyes in my 22" dob under Bortle 1 skies in February was even better. Hopefully at least some of you saw this visually, too.

I also included an annotated version highlighting SN 2024gy as "revision B".

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.
