About this image

The Chairman of our astronomical society (Coventry and Warwickshire) mentioned this galaxy having a supernova, so I decided to image it during the next clear night. Despite only a couple of hours of data, it didn't turn out too bad :) The galaxy was very small in my field of view, but my scope was still able to make out some of the detail.
