Visual Observations of SN 2012hr

Hi All

I've observed SN 2012hr over the past couple of nights and it's brightened since discovery. On Dec 22.64 UT and 23.7 UT I estimated it as mag 13.8 on both nights. Well done to the BOSS team for discovering a bright one. As a visual variable start observer most of the SNe are way too faint to observe. You do get a buzz out of seeing a massive stellar explosion with your owb eye balls!
