Description

Here is an image of the supernova 2023ixf in galaxy M101. This is an LRGB composition, with subs taken on May 21 and 22, 2023. I was fortunate to have 2 clear (and moonless!) nights just as I heard of this discovery. It's amazing that a single star can become brighter that the core of it's galaxy!
