Thank you all and thanks Ron for putting this thread up.
My discovery is an independent discovery. The CHASE team in Chile discovered the Supernova on the 13th a day prior to my discovery, but it had not been announced when I made my discovery. I thank and give credit where it is due to some fine Australian amateur astronomers - the likes of Greg Bock, Colin Drescher, Steve Quirk, Pat Pearl and Brendan Downs who all took my calls late at night and went to great deal of trouble to get a precise position, magnitude etc and gave me valuable advices. Anyways here is a stack of 3 of my 25 second images put together by Greg Bock noting the position of the Supernova.
