A supernova has been discovered in M82, ( aka NGC 3034,\u00a0 aka Arp 337,\u00a0 sometimes called the cigar galaxy,)\u00a0 by Steve Fossey and his team of students (Ben Cooke, Tom Wright, Mathew Wilde, and Guy Pollock ).\u00a0 They were using a 350 mm SCT at the University of London, Mill Hill on 21.01.2014.<\/p>\n

Deep Sky Section members Dale Holt and Alan Clitherow have sent in their observations of this event.<\/p>\n

\"M82\"<\/p>\n

Dale’s drawing, was made on 23.01.14, using a 505mm Newtonian telescope and A Watec 120n vieo camera.<\/p>\n

Alan’s image, was taken on 22.01.14, with a MN 190 P and a cooled Canon EOS 1100D DSLR camera<\/p>\n
