Paul, that's a great shot even without the supernova. Nicely processed too.

The supernova is obvious, but in my ignorance I'm surprised at how faint it is. Only ever photographed two others. They were brilliant blue and outshone the host galaxy. Perhaps this one is partially obscured by dust, which would account for both the low brightness and the redness. Just making it up.

Best,
Mike
