About this image

This SN is circumpolar for us and therefore conveniently placed. I thought I would measure its brightness weekly over the course of the next six to twelve months. The measurements will be made with an (essentially) unfiltered CMOS using a red mag zeropoint, so I'm not sure what to expect.
