SN2023ixf/M101 on 20230524 compared to M101 two years ago

M101 featured already several supernovae in the past decades, and since last Friday there is another one, this time of type II, i.e. an exploding high mass star. Last night
was clear so I could get a first shot at this object, the SN has meanwhile considerable brightness, comparable to the core of M101 and to some of the brighter foreground stars.
In this montage I blink it with an image I collected two years ago, nicely showing the SN. Only minimum processing of the images was performed. Note that the image of two years ago
was done with a different telescope (10" Meade LX50 with Starizona LF reducer) at a somewhat different plate scale. Also the 2021 image had 10h of exposures while last night only 2.5h of data were taken.

Data were taken on Mar 9, 2021, April 20, 2021, April 25, 2021, and May 24th, 2023.

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.
