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.

I observed this SN last night in my 16" scope, I would guess the mag as brightened to about 12.8.
It was plainly seen with eyepieces 17mm Nagler 107xmag 9mm Nagler 203xmag, and a 6mm Radian 304xmag.
all showed the Supernova clearly.
Scopes of around 10" or more should be able to see this object.
Cheers
