I have just come in from observing this galaxy/supernova. I estimate that it is slightly brighter than last night, about 13mag, comparing it to the 12.5mag star at the opposite end of the galaxy.
I was able to see it with a 21mm eyepiece, 87xmag even though the 4 day old moon was not too far away.
best view was with a 13mm nagler+ 2xbarlow=282x mag.
unfortunatly the moon and the brighter evenings are going to make observing this supernova difficult in the future.
