I have measured the flux of the SN but the problem is getting reasonable comparison stars. The image was taken with no filter so this significantly reduces the accuracy I can achieve. I did a comparison to one of the field stars that wasn't saturated (ASAS143624-0005.8) with a V mag of 13.557
This gives a measured mag for the SN of 16.361.
This is pretty rough as there is no colour correction and the error of the ASAS star is about 0.15 mag.
Using the USNO A2 catalogue I get 14.62
It seems to be much harder to measure the mag of these objects in faint fuzzies compared to variable stars.
