I can now banish the word "possible" from my lexicon, at least in this case. Some folks did follow-up work last night using the 2.3 meter Bok telescope at Kitt Peak and confirmed it to be a type Ib near maximum light. Details here: http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=7680 And it "only" took 252 nights of searching since my first SN to find this one, which is half the 508 nights it took to find #1. Hmmm, somehow that reminds me of this Albert Einstein quote: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." patrick On 20 Jun 2015, at 11:38, Joan Carman <jcarman6@q.com> wrote:
When will your discovery be "official?" Others have seen it, photographed it even?

Joe, you might want to take anOther look at the Clear Sky Clock if it's not too late.
Calling for clear skies all night. And it would be fun if someone local besides me got a shot of my possible find.
Cheers,
