A show piece you might say.
I observed the SN visually on a night of fairly good seeing with a 6mm radian
even though low down for me at 44° north was still able to pull it out.
At the time the SN was 14.5 mag.
It gives a good comparison to the SN 2016 adj in NGC 5128 with the colours.
5128 orange,3184 blue, so we can see what extinction does to supernova colours.

Thanks for the info Ron. Actually I thought the galaxy magnitude was 10.4 but I think that's the blue magnitude rather than the visual. That's a good catch picking it out visually.
