Sorry Pete, it would have been sensible for me to put lines to mark the SN, I should have done that.

Pete, If you look at Martin Pughs (several hours exposure) image you can clearly see the faint outer arm in which SN2012hr is located.

Interesting. I'll make sure I continue to have it captured in my usual run of images.

Thanks for the image Roger - I plan to have a go when the clouds lift here in Sydney. Though I doubt I can manage as a clear an image as yours in 50 minutes

Pete, my image isn't a scratch on Martin's so I'm sure you can get close to mine
Taking the photo at a moonless time would be a good help.
