Alex, the nucleus of the galaxy is given at around 12 mag,the star that the supernova is sandwiched in between is 14.6 the Supernova is 14.5.
It was only discovered on the tenth of this month, and does not seem to have brightened much at all.
It will be a very difficult SN to observe visually because of the above constraints.
Best of luck anyway.
Cheers
