About this image

I saw the image by David Strange on 9th May and spent the 10th May trying to get this in between high cloud, but the weather beat me, the following night it was clear so I tried again and was successful.

There are better images on these pages, but this is mine, and I'm very pleased with it it is also my very first supernova!
