I wouldhave thought it would be over by now thats what made me think there was an error. Interestingly the blue star does NOT appear to be present in photos taken prior to 2007 (see attached). Therefore its very very slow to decrease its light curve and Wooo Hooo my first photo of a supernova!! Be interesting to get another photo at Astrofest but this time deeper.
