Here is a view of supernova SN2022aaiq in the galaxy NGC 5631, at the time of my observation the estimated magnitude was 15.7. This is a Type Ia supernova, a type of supernova that occurs in binary systems (two stars orbiting one another) in which one of the stars is a white dwarf. The other star can be anything from a giant star to an even smaller white dwarf.
