Details:
After seeing Pierre Ponsard image of SN2026cff in NGC 3660 on Spaceweather dated 18th March 2026, I decided to try and capture a picture as well of the Supernova from here at home. I wasn’t sure that the Seestar S50 would be able to find it with such a light suburban sky, as the galaxy was very faint at 14th magnitude.
The Crater constellation was quite high up the eastern sky and to my utter delight after rechecking my images with Odd Trondal image that he posted on Spaceweather on the 3rd April and taken on 28th March 2026, I have indeed captured the supernova :-)
Image was taken with Seestar S50 telescope, exposure time was 3160 seconds, the image is cropped and the bright star to the right is called HD 98853, which is 6.94 magnitude. I use the excellent Stellarium App for all my information on the stars.
