I would like to respond to the above post by Peter.
I would like to thank Peter,Colin,Greg and everybody else that helped in this discovery it was certainly a team effort and if wasn’t for their quick work the discovery would of been made by someone else.
I have been really interested in Supernova hunting for 15 years but had never had the time or equipment to start a proper search so this is like a dream come true
Peter has really helped me set up a serious SN search plan over the past couple of years and his friendly advice has really helped me out . He has always been there with advice and certainly I had a couple of false alarms as well and woke him up on many occasions forgetting the time difference between New Zealand and Aussie thinking that I had seen something to find out that it was nothing. Ending up waking the whole house...Sorry for that
I really look forward to working with Peter and the others in the future.
I am currently imaging NGC134 with a longer exposure and will post my results but need to go to bed now as I have been up for 30 hours!!!!
Thanks
Stu

Stu had an interview on the "ABC New Radio" at 09;30 this morning
Great to see him getting some recognition for his efforts
