Tom Boles

SN2004fd in NGC 1060, discovered 2004 October 21. Mag. 15.7. It is not present on images from 2004 August 25, September 8 and October 5 (limiting mag. 19.5) nor on a Quick-V survey plate from 1982 (limiting mag. 19.0). This composite image was produced because the galaxy and the supernova are so bright that a single image is either two dots or is burned out.
