Details:
Yesterday, the sky in our location finally cleared up and I was able to image the newly discovered supernova in the strange shaped galaxy M82, or the Cigar Galaxy, in the constellation Ursa Major. This supernova (mag +11.7) was just recently discovered in January 21 and is a mere 11.4 million light years away. It now makes a very nice target for backyard astronomers and is expected to brighten at least for the rest of this month. I used my Takahashi TSA 102 refractor and a Canon 50D DSLR at prime focus to capture both M81 and M82, with 22 2.5 min subs stacked in DeepSkyStacker software.
