Hi Peter

Have just arrived home from SNAC, but sadly no pickies of the SN in NGC5128.

Friday night after setting up I imaged NGC 2359 whilst waiting for NGC 5128 to rise to a decent altitude - sent my scope and camera towards it at about 1 am only to have the clouds roll in just as the guide scope had started tracking well. Saturday night's weather was rubbish and Sunday night was almost a carbon copy of Friday night - imaged IC 2177 and NGC 5189 then at 11:30 swung the scope around to NGC 5128, picked a guide star, just started guiding and the fog and cloud rolled in to obscure the whole sky in under five minutes - *sigh*. I will get that elusive image, but it will have to wait until the school holidays now - hopefully it won't be too faint by then.

Paul
