It seems there were probably several people that imaged, but didn't detect, this one. Jared On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:
After learning about the SN in M82 I went back and looked at images I've taken of M82 over the past several days.
I did not see the SN in the normally processed images owing to its being buried so near the core of the galaxy.
But by stretching the histogram of each image I saw the SN going back several days from the 16th to last night.

Note that these are GIFs of raw images. No darks or flats applied.
I guess I have to count this as the one that got away. :)
I'm also thinking I should start using shorter exposures.
When I get some times I'll see about "prettying" them up and putting them into an animation.
