The animation looks great Patrick! Can you get any kind of light curve data off of those? As a photographer that shoot HDR images most of the time I'm all about bracketing the exposure whenever I shoot "just in case" Seems like that would be a good practice for bright core galaxies, of course I shoot for aesthetics not data.

It seems there were probably several people that imaged, but didn't detect, this one.

After learning about the SN in M82 I went back and looked at images I've taken of M82 over the past several days.
I did not see the SN in the normally processed images owing to its being buried so near the core of the galaxy.
But by stretching the histogram of each image I saw the SN going back several days from the 16th to last night.

Note that these are GIFs of raw images. No darks or flats applied.
I guess I have to count this as the one that got away. :)
I'm also thinking I should start using shorter exposures.
When I get some times I'll see about "prettying" them up and putting them into an animation.
