At San Pedro Valley Observatory last night Wayne Johnson stopped in to say
hello just as we were finishing the final configurations of the telescope.
Indeed I was in the process of calibrating the autoguider when he mentioned
that there had been a supernova in M65. At his behest, I gladly made it
the first frame captured with the ED152 from the remote observatory.
Despite the moonlight and only a single exposure of 5 minutes - the scope
did manage to pull it out of the bright background. It's not a pretty
picture by any means, but it is first light - and it's a pretty cool object
to start with.
