I was able to observe S/N 2008in in M61 (NGC4303) at 01:30 this morning,
the seeing was about 7-10, 10 being the best.
I observed the galaxy for some time before the supernova became apparent.
It seemed a bit fainter than the given Mag 14.3, but as the galaxy got higher it was much clearer.
Saturn was absalutly Fabulous with the ring shadow and three moons close to the ring plain
The Moons could be seen to move over a couple of hours.
In a 6mm Radian,(304xmag) was the sharpest I have seen Saturn in a very long time
Wes (Zubenel) was with with me and as well as confirming the observation of the Supernova was just blown away by the view of Saturn.
Called it a night at 03:30 due to mist rising, but it did its old trick in that as soon as I had packed up, it cleared away
A great nights observing
