Supernova SN2011dh in M51
Alerted yesterday by AAVSO Special Notice #241 I grabbed the first available telescope for some images.
Here's an animation to show where it is
Using G7 based in Nerpio, Spain (I89)
[SITELAT = '38 09 56' / SITELONG = '-02 19 34' ]
3 x V 300 sec bin2
3 x Luminance 300 sec bin 1
1 x Red 300 sec bin 2
1 x Blue 300 sec bin 2
03-Jun-2011, 21:55 UTC - 23:00 UTC
RA 13:29:53.88 [J2000]
Dec 47:12:00.0 [J2000]
Attached an image using a smaller FOV (G17) that I took a little later.
More imaging scheduled to watch its progress as it fades....
