Description

I have been very busy lately and the nights are getting really short, but we could not miss this one. I was at an astronomy conference in Italy, showing some past results on supernovae and other transient sources as well, when the news came about SN 2023 ixf. The skies suddenly cleared at home, so I could not wait to come back and  get the telescope in action. This is how much we could do in 3 hours, with the Moon in the first quarter. But finally, even if for a short time, we are back!
