SN2013ej in M74

A supernova in a Messier object - easy! So I thought! The SN was easy - getting a reasonable galaxy around it was the challenge.... It has a very low surface brightness for a Messier, and barely rises out of the murk from here - only 41 deg high at transit.
Seeing conditions were quite good last night, so I had another go (I had a disastrous effort last month...) - I'm happy enough with this one, I may add some subs another night....
This is 12x3min subs, binned 2x2, Atik 420/200mm f/4 newt.
