Well done!!. If you've got detailed star charts for that area you should be able to estimate its magnitude based on the surrounding stars.

Or, if you know what type of supernova it is, and how far away the galaxy is, just plugged the numbers into the distance modulus equ' and you'll have a reasonable answer.
