Thanks Peter and everyone else for their kind comments.
This certainly would not of been possible without the help and support of the BOSS group.Peter,Greg,Colin and Pat are a great bunch of guys and my thanks goes out to them that is for sure.
Attached is a picture of my 100th discovery the little galaxy PGC48876.Certinally not a great shot but this shows the new SN easily.The second shot is a confirming image taken from Chile.We are able to ask the professionals at the Carnegie Supernova Project for confirming images. One of the best parts of the job is to work with the professionals and see your discoveries used in real science.
Lets hope there is still many more to be found by amateurs in the future as there is a lot of competition now form automated groups.I do believe though there is still room for groups like ours.
