Thanks guys,
yes Allan, a tingle and thrill once I start the usual pre-existence checks that shows that its not recorded anywhere before...then the chase is on to make sure that the report is done asap and lodged with CBAT to make sure no-one else claims it..it's an intense hour or so while we do those checks and determine the location and magnitude.
Then of course, The Wait...until we get it confirmed...that's the most nervous part, and can take days...did we really get a SN?, or something else, only the spectrum can prove it.

In the case of NGC1154, The Wait was only about 14 hours which is very short, but it can take days, such as Stu's recent discovery in NGC10.
