[AZ-Observing] Re: New SuperNova

     The object was mag. 13 for less than a day, and is now faded to
mag. 19 or so.  Actually the mag. 13 part was the GRB outburst, and 
the mag. 19 thing is the underlying supernova becoming visible just in
the last 48 hours or so.
     You can read blow-by-blow accounts of the 29 March event at the
GCN circular archive, starting:

http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/gamcosray/legr/bacodine/gcn3_archive.html

Circular 1985 is the first one identifying the visible counterpart,
and 150 reports have been issued since then.
