Thanks for the comments they are all really appreciated. Wo that's 2 for me this year in 6000 images.
Out of interest and just for bit of fun tonight I wanted to see what the shortest exposure would be useful to blink using the 12inch LX200R (@F7) in alt az mode and Starlight XPress SXVHR9 Monochrome camera. Well again it's no oil painting but it is only a 5 second image. Not bad shows a mag15.5(r) supernova quite easily.
Seems the PSN has brightened and has now been queued for a spectra by the professionals.
Thanks again from all in the BOSS team - Greg, Stu, Colin, Pat and Brendan they all share in this discovery and we are proud to let IIS members know about these discoveries almost as they occur and about the same time they are advised to the pros. Also thanks to Roger Groom for his collaboration with us when we need a follow up image from the west - he is always willing to do so at a moments notice.
