Bright supernova SN 2014J in Messier 82: new hi-res image (2 Mar. 2014)
Supernova SN 2014J in M82: 2 Mar. 2014
Supernova SN 2014J and its host galaxy Messier 82 were well-placed in the sky last night, when the clouds left the stars shining in a steady atmosphere for a while.
The Planewave 17 robotic unit was slewed in Ursa Major, were M82 is, and a image sequence started. Above is the average of 12, 300-seconds exposures, unfiltered, taken at full resolution, with a scale of 0.63″/pixel. All images were unguided.
