The SN is down to mag 12.9 now according to the latest release: http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/supernova.html#2011dh Looks to be a IIb in deed with the second brightening. So, IIb or not be is the question, and this star made its choice known, not to be. On 2011-06-13 17:43, Joe Bauman wrote:

Hi Friends, Here's my blog about the SN in M51, with my pics. Thanks to Patrick for his help on a really bad night (even though I didn't get any views that night!) Best wishes, Joe http://www.deseretnews.com/blog/47/10011993/Nightly-news-astronomy- Supernova .html
