Hi all
Many congrats to our NZ member, Stu Parker, who discovered his 4th supernova just recently.
It's a 17.1 mag supernova in the 13.6mag galaxy, PGC17517.
I'll let Stu tell the story.

Hi all,
Just wanting to announce the discovery of my 4th supernova as part of my regular search programme. I discovered the 17.1 mag supernova on thr 18th of October in PGC17517 a 13.6 mag galaxy in Pictor.
With help from Peter Marples and Colin Drescher we were able to confirm the SN and today I received the CBAT 1984 from the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams confirming the Supernova. Many thanks to the team who worked really hard on this discovery.
Many thanks
