SN2009ip Oct 6 UT

For those into supernovae, this is an interesting one. First "blew" in 2009, but turned out to just be flaring. I think it has popped off another couple of times in-between, and now may have gone off for good. No-one seems to be sure.

Anyhow, it is quite bright, at around Vmag 13.5, and well placed for a look high in the southern sky.

This is a stack of around 280(!) 60s exposures from last night/this morning. C11 at f/5, Atik 320E camera, V filter, binned 2x2.
