PGC 18880 with SN 2012hr

Hi all,

An image of this SN of Peter's.

Even with 5 minute exposures on the ST8 I'm still not seeing the extent of the galaxy required to match it up with the SN! Sure must be in the far flung edges of the galaxy!

I suppose this was taken under moon lit skies, perahps that's the reason I'm not seeing these fainter extents of the galaxy.

I have colour data but am not good at LRGB processing (not something I do much of). I have tried but ended up with a washed out image which was hard to balance, so have stuck with the L.

10 x 300 second exposures
Unguided
12" SCT @ 2981mm (~f/10)
PME
ST8-XME @ bin 2x2, -15.

Regards,
Roger.
