Possible SuperNova in NGC4945

Hi all,
A couple of days ago a message was posted to the local NZAstro group alerting us of a possible SuperNova in galaxy NGC4945.
So last night I was determined to photograph it. I dodged clouds for about 3hrs and finally gave up...
Ended up with a single 4min shot for my efforts.! Still the SN was there as predicted.
When compared to a 4945 image I did last year it is easily detectable.

They are predicting the SN to get to Mag10. Currently it is about Mag12. Might be worth keeping an eye on.

Cheers
