Supernova in M95 Galaxy



Supernova SN2012aw discovered on 16 March 2012. M 95 /NGC 3351/ is a relatively nearby barred spiral galaxy just abot 37 million light years away in constellation LEO . If you look for Mars-Red Planet the galaxy is there !
Image taken on 27 March 2012.Was very windy evening so I keep exposures short just 3 minutes each.
Stack of 29 exposures in DSS. On this image supernova is first bright star to the right (2 o'clock) from galaxy core.I did it ! From 50 exposures just 29 good for stack processing :(
