Supernovas

In case you haven't heard there is another supernova in M99.  It is about magnitude 15 today.  I've been looking at the supernova in M82 using my 5 inch reflector.  The big sunspot cluster (formerly AR 1944) is now appearing again on the Sun.  I'm going to take a look as soon as I post this.

  1. If it clears up soon I'll have to take the scope out to try to find this new supernova in M99, but it is reassuring that the M82 supernova is still an easy target.
