I must thank Peter Marples, Greg Bock, Colin Drescher, Pat Pearl, Stu Parker (members of BOSS, Backyard Observatory Supernova Search team) and Berto Monard for help with confirming the discovery and doing all the reporting.
The image shows IC 4854 and the supernova 2010dc.
The image was taken with a very new 14inch Meade ACF OTA (4 months old), and very old ST-7 (15 years old) and was 60 seconds exposure time.
It has been nearly 13 years since my first supernova, 1997de at the Qld astrofest. It means I get to bore friends with a new story.
And yes I will be bringing a white pen to the astrofest to updated the score sheet.
