Description

Object type : galaxy with supernova
Distance : 60 million lightyears

Normally, M60 is not such a photogenic galaxy, but a supernova recently occurred in NGC4647 (galaxy nearby), and you want to capture that. NGC4647 lies almost in a straight line with M60, and lies 5 million light-years away from M60. I think the result turned out well. The supernova "SN2022hrs" is very bright on it. This supernova had a magnitude of 12.5.
