Hi Peter and Greg

As per your suggestion (Peter) I have just emailed Daivd with a copy of the image I took early Saturday morning and ccd B.O.S.S. into it as well.

Hopefully it will prove to be of use to you all, despite its lengthy exposure time. I've been eagerly following this thread as much as I could during the day - fortunately it was my school's swimming carnival so have had a number of opportunities to do so! (I might be a bit blurry eyed in class tomorrow though as I'm just about to go out and set my gear up to have another run at it tonight - well early tomorrow morning that is. )

I am really looking forward to seeing what additional data surfaces in the coming days, including an analysis of its spectrum and a determination of what type of SN it is.

Congratulations once again to you and your team on its discovery, and for posting the details here on IIS. I'm tickled pink to have captured an image of it - and to think that it may turn out to be the first image taken of it. It's mind blowing to think that you have been the first person to see something for the first time and that the event causing it occurred 12 million years ago.

Kindest regards

Paul
