EAA live stack using SharpCap with Vixen ED103S and ASI385. 40 X 15.0 second subs for total exposure of 600s at Gain300. The super nova was clearly visible after the first sub. No post processing. It looks to be about mag12.5.
G'day Steve. Glad you got to see SN2022hrs supernova! I observed it last week, your magnitude estimate matches mine, around 12.5 mag. Great capture and wishing you more clear skies!
