Description

Object type : galaxy with supernova
Distance : 21 million lightyears

May 19th 2023, a new supernova was discovered in this galaxy. This picture was taken 2 days later on the evening (and night) of May 21st. The supernova 2023ixf is very bright visible in the left upper spiral arm. Due to some clouds, I had to remove 45 exposures, but still 115 good enough exposures left to stack to this result.
