Joe: I haven't looked at your photo, but if you think it shows the SN, then by all means, you should send it to the appropriate clearing house for such discoveries. Sorry, I can't say who that would be, but maybe Patrick could help. Your photo may be more important than the "discovery" photo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Bauman" <bau@desnews.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 3:58 PM Subject: Re: Re: [Utah-astronomy] My M51 photos -- SN? | Well, if I got it, it is BEFORE the official discovery photo -- so I wish | I had studied it more carefully, so I could have claimed discovery!

I guess it teaches us to be more observant with our photos. I'm taking my 4" refractor out tonight. It would be interesting to see if I can see it in a 4" scope. | > | > Keep up those astrophotos, | > | > Debbie | > > | > > From: Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> | > > Date: 2005/07/06 Wed PM 03:33:35 MDT | > > To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> | > > Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] My M51 photos -- SN? | > > | > > Joe, on both of your photos there does seem to be a | > > bright object at the location of the supernova, to my | > > eye at least. | > > | > > C. | > > | > > --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote: | > > | > > > I'm resending this because, as pointed out, the | > > > previous heading sounded | > > > like one of those Internet scams. | > > | > > | > > | > > ____________________________________________________ | > > Sell on Yahoo!
