Southern Observers !
A 14th magnitude transient (likely supernova) was discovered in NGC 7213 on 29th December 2015. The discovery was announced in CBAT 8474. The new transient is currently 14th magnitude but likely to brighten a magnitude or two over the next week or so.
NGC 7213 is one of the easiest galaxies to find in the night sky as it is only 16 arc-minutes south-southwest of 1st magnitude Alpha Gruis (Alnair).
The new object 117" North and 68" West from the center of the galaxy NGC 7213. In other words it is about 2 arcminutes from center in the north-northwestern halo.
