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!

Thanks Andrew.
Keep the visual obs coming. The weather here hasn't been too kind since Peter's discovery.
Will be interesting to follow the light curve through to max and beyond.
