NGC7331 and SN2026aaiv

About this image

Right after digging into NGC7331 from the previous image I found the SN. This image is heavily stretched and I have tweaked contrast a lot to suppress the core brightness.

But this is a bright SN
UPDATE 07092026

I have now properly plate solved and registered the images from this post. And carried out aperture photometry on the SN.

At time of imaging I make the instrumental magnitude as being mag13.7 based on 20 distributed reference stars from the image indexed using Gaia DR3 data set.

As an indication, the star (RA 22 37 06/9 DEC+34 23 57) to above and left of the SN is listed in DR3 as magnitude 14.94.
