Has anyone seen this super nova yet? It looks like it is a little dim but they say it is brightening.

There's a finder chart for SN 2002AP at http://www.aavso.org/charts/PSC/SN2002AP/ Nova Ophiuchui 2002 has been renamed V2450. A finder chart can be found at http://www.aavso.org/charts/OPH/V2540_OPH/ Dave Mitsky ________________________________________________________________________
Ok, call me a woose (sp?) but I have not seen it only because it isn't well placed for viewing until the wee hours of the morning and I seem to have this aversion to mimicking the qualities of an ice cube. :-) Patrick the cowardly observer... David Dunn wrote:

I agree with Patrick; supernovae don't excite me enough to look specifically for them (unless they happen in the Milky Way, and at a declination I can observe without involving an airline and a week's pay! Good old, garden-variety white-dwarf novae in our own neighborhood put on a much better show! And it's usually spelled "WUSSY", according to Mr. Titus, anyway;) C. --- Patrick Wiggins <PWiggins@CO.SLC.UT.US> wrote:
