Just taken several images and this is bright. The PSN is close to the galaxy and my image here is a 2 second image.
This galaxy is in Fornax and is about 50 million light years away. It had a mag 14.2 Supernova (SN 2007on) that was a type 1a and was extensively studied.

I think this may get a lot of professional and amateur attention.
