Thanks indeed for your messages of congratulations.
We are indeed fortunate that in Australia and on this site there is a wealth of talented and knowledgeable people who are willing to assist at a moments notice, at anytime of night. A big thanks to Bob Evans, Steve Quirk, Greg Bock, Colin Drescher, Terry Lovejoy and Brendan Downs for their valuable advices and assistance with the reporting of my first discovery.
Berto Monard the prolific Supernova discoverer from South Africa was able to quickly image the suspect and get back to me with a very important confirmation/image.
I have attached a combined image put together by Greg Bock of several that I took of SN2008fa. My images are single 25 second images using a 12inch LX200ACF(R) operating in alt az mode @ F7 with a Starlight Xpress SXVH9.
Cheers
Peter Marples
