Thanks Ron. I had a look for it on Monday night, and like you, I couldn't make it out. Wasn't sure if it was still visible then.
Any thoughts about the SN being visible this weekend? If I can make it out bush this weekend I'll be chasing up 1566 all the same, SN or not - what a stunning galaxy!!!
Really breath taking for me,
If it were in any other constellation, it would be a showpiece on its own. Shame it needs to share the same bit of sky as the LMC...
Here's the sketch I did of 1566. I've posted a little write up on this on my blog:
