Image of SN in M101 from Fawkes North
From Bad Astronomy Blog, here is an image of the new SN from the Fawkes North Telescope. Hmm. . . that would be fun to image.

That's a cool SN, Jay. I'm wondering if the new one in M51 is still visible.

Joe, Go to the blog and check out the black and white image taken by the 48 in Palomar. It really shows this one brightening. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/08/25/m101-supernova-upd... Patrick, Do you search on your own or are you searching with a small group of others? On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 10:32 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com>wrote:

I exchanged emails this evening with the guy who discovered the SN and he gave me the exact time the discovery image was taken. Anyone hear me scream?! I got a very nice shot of M-101 the morning (UT) of the 22nd. No sign of it there. The next morning it was cloudy so no images then. Discovery morning the skies were beautiful here but as folks here might know I was at Bryce Canyon under dripping skies. So, no images then. However (and this is the painful part) I went back and constructed the imaging run I would have done that morning had I not been at Bryce and my M-101 shot would have been produced at least 10 minutes and possibly as much as 25 minutes before the discovery image. And considering my imaging setup I'm sure a mag 17.5 SN would have really stood out. Augh! So close... patrick p.s. Yes, Joe, the SN in M-51 is still plainly visible. I've gotten images of it on 42 nights (most recently Monday morning) since it blew and it just doesn't seem to want to go away. On 25 Aug 2011, at 22:32, Joe Bauman wrote:

That's painful, Patrick. I had an almost-found-one with the SN in M51 that erupted before the present one. But just think, once the clouds go away we'll have the chance to get images of two SNs on one night, in close galaxies. I don't know when that has happened before. And if there's any kind of chance tomorrow night, it would be really cool to image them plus Comet Garradd's tail in front of M71. Let's hope there's finally a good clear night. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 12:05 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Image of SN in M101 from Fawkes North (my tale of woe) I exchanged emails this evening with the guy who discovered the SN and he gave me the exact time the discovery image was taken.
