SN2009ip, NGC 7259

Observers who want a bit of a challenge could try for this strange Supernova.
See thread Here
Scopes from about 10" should not have too much trouble finding the Supernova, even though the galaxy at 13.1 mag is a bit faint.
Cheers

Great to confirm your suspicion's that this SN can be observed with a 10" scope. The 12mm Mag saw the SN flit in and out of visibility burt as soon as the 9mm Nag was used the pin point was sure and steady. Quite easy with the assistance of the 2 brighter stars almost in a line with it. Thanks for a great observing run last night Ron... Cheers Zub.
