Description

I am happy to share with you a picture of a newly discovered supernova 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy. The image above is a result of stacking multiple images from different nights. Basically I had approximately 6 hours of exposure time captured earlier in March and April this year. On the night from May 21 to 22 I collected 3 hours worth of exposure time on this target where we can also see the new supernova.I have also added a layer of the red channel from an image I got after capturing this galaxy with SvBony SV220 filter earlier this year as well. It helped me to highlight some Ha regions in the galaxy.
