Where's Buffy when you need her?

Nicely done Patrick. Easily seen in your image. I read a report of a

visual observation even with the moon up yesterday. Also, Bright Supernova has dropped the magnitude down to 12.8 on this object. If it is clear tonight I am going to set up and give it a try.

For fun, here is a YouTube link show an artist's impression of a Type Ia SN.

Thanks for the tip Jay.

Too cold to try and see it visually so I let the scope and imager sit in the cold and get a picture:

A Type Ia SN, SN2011B was discovered on 2011/01/07 by Koichi Itagak in NGC 2655. This should be viewable through many scopes and is probably a good target for those doing astro imaging. Here is a link to the image:

I'd love to get out and visually see it but with the moon and the LP from Herriman during the early evening I don't think that will happen. If the weather is good come early next week I think I will try to get north a little and try to get some time in on it. If anyone does image please post.
