BOSS Supernova 36

HI all,
well Stuart Parker has been working overtime lately, and turned up yet another possible supernova in a very pretty spiral galaxy, NGC7125.
At this stage, i have analysed his images and sent a transient object advice to the Central Bureau of Astronomical Telegrams, and we are now waiting for a spectral image to confirm the new object as a supernova.

The TOCP advice is designated as PSN J21491632-6042426 and the new possible SN is currently at mag 15.3 Red.


This discovery follows hot on the heels of his last discovery in PGC926 on the 26th June, i just don't know how he manages to hoover these things up so effectively....

Congrats yet again Stu....I'm speechless...
