I am sure by now, members will know. There is a new SN visible in NGC 6946.
But- If you don't. Here is a link giving details of where to find it.

Clear skies permitting. I will try to image it.

Paul,
Yes it's exciting; cloudy in Nottingham and my C11 is at the telescope hospital anyway.
There is another forum thread about the supernova:

Jeremy and Andy Wilson published a brief article on it also this morning:

Looking forward to seeing your images of it.

Hi Paul,
That is a very useful webpage, thanks for sharing.
Though I usually do spectroscopy, this is not the right kind of target for my setup. So I'm hoping to take a look at it though my Dobsonian instead.
Cheers,
Andy
It has been a very long time, since we had a bright SN visible in the Northern Hemisphere.
I want to look at it and possibly image. But the weather has now turned. I hope members with better skies. Are able to send in useful observations. Wherever they may be, before the supernova fades.
