SuperNova in NGC 3367

[johnnyjetski]

SN 2022ewj in NGC 3367, discovered on the 19th March with a magnitude of 16.3, with reports its getting slightly brighter. Magnitude 15.5 was the last report i noticed.
I took this really quick image on the 20th, and as you can see its quite a spectacular SN.
NGC 3367 is 120Mil light years away.
Cheers!

Thanks, will keep an eye on it to see if it gets any
brighter for a visual observation.
Being close to the nucleus, would make it a bit of
a stretch even so.
16" scope,dark sky.

Remarkably, this is the sixth supernova discovered in NGC 3367 since 1986.
SN 1986A (type Ia, mag 14.0),
SN 1992C (type II, mag 16.5),
SN 2003aa (type Ic, mag 17.6),
SN 2007am (type II, mag 17.8),
SN 2018kp (type Ia)
SN 2022ewj (type II)

I captured this image of SN 2022ewj last night.
Scope: Vixen VC200L, Flattener reducer, 8 inch f6.4
Pentax K1 DSLR, ISO 12800, 30 x 30s.

By coincidence, my friend Steve Bodin, captured the same galaxy pre-outburst about 3 weeks ago from his observatory in Mattawa, WA, USA with a Meade 16" LX200. One fixed image posted here, one blink image with my image and Steve's "before" image (reproduced with permisssion) is too big for IIS. You can view it here, 2nd image on this page.

Great image Joe.
Mine was taken with the moon close by as well as the western horizon. I basically just wanted to verify the object.
Its a great target and one to keep an eye on.
Regards,
