I found quite a few slides tucked away in a draw, and amongst them is a another series of Supernova 1987a. This is one of them. Obviously the technical quality should not be compared to today's CCD efforts. This was taken on slide film and scanned to a jpg image. I'm impressed with the magnitude of it. I hope that anyone who has started in this hobby since SN1987a will get the chance to witness a supernova this bright in their lifetime.
