BOSS Supernova 39
Hold everything!!!!
And wait, there's more!!
This is remarkable. In just 21 days since 26 June, Stu Parker has just discovered his 5th new supernova!!!
I have just analysed his last image of NGC309 and sent the report to the Central Bureau to let them know that he has a new possible supernova in that galaxy.
It's a faint one at mag 18.1, but the galaxy is another very pretty face-on spiral in Cetus which rises about 10:30pm, and doesn't pass the meridian until about 5am, so its not a very friendly object for observing unfortunately.
The second observatory on his farm and clear weather are certainly working well to deliver the goods lately.
Congrats yet again Stu!!
