The Picture of the Week this week features a supernova!! The image shows before and after FOVs of the supernova SN2022 hrs in the galaxy NGC 4647 in the Virgo cluster. The before image was taken with the Sky90 array and the after image with the Hyperstar 4 and ASI2600 MC Pro CMOS camera.
It was a clear Moonless sky and I was just going to sort out the final Sky90 on the array, which is a bit boring with good skies. So it was very fortunate that I saw there was a new supernova near M60 and that became the Hyperstar 4 target for the night.
With the ASI 2600MC-Pro CMOS camera on the Hyperstar 4, on the C11, on a wedge – I took 16 x 3-minute subs (I actually took 24 x 3-minute subs, but 8 were not very good).
