Astrophotography

At TSP on the night of Friday, May 3, I captured the attached image of M 100. Unbeknownst to me, four days earlier SN 2019ehk was discoverd in that galaxy. I have the SN annoted in the image.

Great capture Jeff!  If you hadn't heard about the SN, do you normally check your galaxy images for SN's after processing?

 

Thanks for sharing, Johnny

Johnny,

I was trying to identify the satellite galaxies and the star-like objects that appear to be in M 100 to describe them when I noticed that in all the official images there were only two star-like objects rather than three in the galaxy area. I Googled "M 100 supernova" and found the announcement.

Whoops! I annotated "SM" instead of "SN" in the image. Here is a cropped version.

Very cool

Willie
