I walked into Sirius Optics one day to buy my 10" dobbie but ALL I wanted to know was "tell me who the supernova chaser is that works here because I read it in Sky & Telescope"
Turned out to be Peter who I asked
Embarrass emoticon for rockstar excitment right in the face of person (Peter) I was asking ---->
I really want to try and take a look at this (weather permitting), and Ron isn't here at the moment to ask, so someone needs to fill his shoes for 10 days.
I've never seen an SN thru a scope and I so desperately want to, I'm even armed with my new Stellaview finder to help me.
Looking at Starry Nights where it lays in the constellation of Octans, sitting at it's highest (from Brisbane) at 39 deg at 9pm, it looks fairly easy to nab and I have a good view to the south.
That mag. worries me tho and it's so far away- will I see this galaxy thru my 10" dob from home?
How long is it expected to stay bright for?
Thanks guys
