BOSS 2 Bright possible Supernova

Heads up, Stu Parker from BOSS (New Zealand) has discovered 2 bright possible Supernova, both last night and both Galaxies in Grus.
NGC7424 @ mag 13 and NGC7552 @mag 12.

These should be good targets for visual and imagers alike.
More to come.

Good onya Stu.
Problem is they both rise about 04:00 and set about 19:30 here
So one will need a good flat horizon to observe them which I don't have..
