Description

I was lucky enough to take images of M60 and NGC4647 before and after the eruption of the supernova SN202hrs.
Here is a side by side comparison with just one month in between the two images. The eruption of SN2022hrs was detected on 16th April 2022 by Koichi Itagaki with a brightness of 15.0mag. 12 days later, when I took my image I measured 12.7mag, which was very close to the maximum brightness that the SN reached. The latest images at the end of July show a brightness of 15-16mag. It's great to see astrophysics in action ...
