Hi Tyler, Kudos on the new image. Very nice. I don't know of anyplace to send post-discovery images so I just posted a message to the Supernova list asking if anyone there knows where such images should be sent. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Regarding naming the new piece of equipment "Supernova Astrograph", in Spanish doesn't that mean Super No Go Astrograph? :) But seriously, the OTA and mount really look nice. Maybe some Saturday afternoon you'll consider a SLAS open house at your observatory. Clear skies, patrick On 24 Mar 2013, at 07:40, Tyler Allred wrote:
Patrick, I have had a few folks on Cloudy Nights suggest that my data may be of value because it was taken so early in the supernova event. Any thoughts? Tyler

Hi all.
My off-axis guider finally arrived from Austria on Thursday night and I was able got the new astrograph up and running perfectly. Miraculously, the skies were clear that night, so I decided to image M65 and M66 in Leo, to test the new system out. By a lucky chance, I picked a target with a supernova that was discovered the same day: SN2013am in M65. The supernova is in the galaxy on the left in the image.
The new image with the supernova can be seen here: http://www.allred-astro.com//viewer.php?id=113 <http://www.allred-astro.com/viewer.php?id=113&cat=1&sub=96> &cat=1&sub=96
If you are interested, photos of the new astrograph can be seen here: http://www.allred-astro.com//nocturne.php?cat=3 <http://www.allred-astro.com/nocturne.php?cat=3>
I hope you will take time to look over the image and let me know your thoughts/suggestions. I am pretty happy with the performance of the scope, but I still have some work to do with cooling fans etc.
Thanks,
Tyler
