I do not think you got the supernova.

Unfortunately I think Brendan might be right. Great capture though......

As Maxwell Smart said 'Missed it by that much!'

Great image Adam, i think you just may have picked up the faint remains of the supernova, as noted in red lines below, maybe?, possibly?

You won't pick up the remnant of a Supernova 8 years after it's discovery
At about 78 million light years distance it would be way to faint,if not visible to even the most powerful scopes,like the Hubble Space Telescope.
They really don't hang around for long.

That's a great little pair of galaxies, Adam. Not sure I've seen them before. Lovely image!

A beautiful image of the galaxy. An example of a galaxy without an active galactic nucleus, and with very little star formation.
