Hello fellow observers!
There is a supernova that exploded in the galaxy NGC 3621 in the constellation Hydra two days ago. The supernova is brightening rapidly, I just observed it a few minutes ago and estimate it to be around magnitude 11.5.
This event is very well placed for us southern hemisphere observers, the parent galaxy is currently high up in the sky. If you've never seen a supernova before, this is a great opportunity. Report any observations you get of it on this thread, happy hunting and clear skies mates
