Hi Mirko,last night,it is still bright at 12.8,should be quite visible in said scopes.
Print off a pic to make sure you have the right star.
The galaxy has a low surface brightness but a bright star like nucleus.
I have attached a pic the SN is marked in the upper hook,the brightest of the three stars.
This was taken when the SN was nearly 14 mag.
Use the little galaxy ESO 59-11 as your guide.
In my scope the small galaxy is below NGC2442 and the SN is too the left of the nucleus.
Cheers
