2 Supernova (possible) one galaxy

Stu Parker from BOSS has discovered 2 possible Supernova in the Galaxy IC 2150 in Columba.

One is mag 15.7 and the other 16.4

As we understand it this is only the 3rd time 2 supernova have been seen at the same time in the host galaxy.

Not sure yet but maybe the first time one discoverer has found 2 in the same galaxy in the one night.

More to come no doubt.

Peter
