Description

I found out I inadvertently captured a Type II Supernova in M101 the Pinwheel Galaxy in Ursa Major Thursday night (2023-05-19 at 01:35 EDT). I was doing EAA because the seeing and transparency were kinda poor.  I was doing 10 minute live stacks of familiar objects just for fun including M101.  This image is a stack of 2 five minute subs taken with an ASI533MC Pro and an AT102ED Refractor working at fl:568mm because of the 0.8x Flatenner Reducer.  What a fantastic chance shot, apparently captured  prior to the person who discovered it.
