SN 2013E and Others

Hi All

I had a busy night and managed to visually observe 3 supernovae in the one night. I've not done that before. The universe is a very active place at the moment! I managed to observe the SN 2013E which was quite a bright object. Details below:

SN 2012hr Jan 10.56UT - mag 14.7
SN 2012fr Jan 10.57UT - mag 15.0
SN 2013E Jan 10.77UT - mag 14.3

It was a busy morning for comets with C/2012 F6 Lemmon seen nice and bright at mag 8.0 in my 0.1cm reflector and C/2011L4 PANSTARRS at mag 8.6 low down in Scorpius.

These observations plus a load of variable star obervations made it a very busy and enjoyable night!
