IC4901 supernova discovered by Greg Bock

I read the post by Greg Bock about discovering this supernova so I thought I would image it last night. It looked a bit small in the image using the Proline 16803 so I used the Microline 8300.

Apart from the usual dramas when you change over gear I got a couple of hours of it.

Luminance turned out best, rgb not so great yet. It would need quite a few hours.

Here is the luminance.

The Supernova is the bright star near the core. I don't know how to put those little marking lines in the image to highlight it.

7 x 10 minutes 2x2 luminance -35C CDK17/ML8300

Its quite a pretty galaxy and worth imaging in colour with lots of hours.
There must be lots of these "obscure" not imaged often galaxies in the southern hemipshere. I'd love a list of these.

Greg.
