The possible supernova PSN J07174570+2320406 in NGC 2357 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of six, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the...
The possible supernova PSN J13145290+3442128 in MCG +6-29-66 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of five, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave...
The possible supernova PSN J12060084+2036183 in NGC 4098 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of three, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount...
Very often, at Virtual Telescope, we wish to underline how beautiful our Universe is, especially when, tracking a given astrophysical source, we observe a patch of sky we never saw earlier. In other words,...
A couple of weeks after our first observation, we observed again supernova SN 2015G in NGC 6951, finding it fainter along its fadind trend. The image above comes from the average of three, 300-seconds exposures, unfiltered,...
NB: on 2 April 1015, CBAT officially announced on CBET 4087 this supernova as SN 2015G, reporting our observations. The image above shows supernova PSN J20372558+6607115 in the beautiful, barred spiral galaxy NGC 6951....
There are things that never fail to show they are true. One of them is that every time you slew a telescope to an apparently anonymous patch of the sky, following up a faint...
Recently, while following-up a recently discovered optical transient, PSN J14095513+1731556 – turned out to be a supernova – we spied a nice spot of the sky where, all around the supernova and its host galaxy (NGC...
The Universe is so huge that ever the most active observers are continuously facing new gems floating in the outer space. This also happens every time you slew your telescope to a new object,...
Cetus is a huge constellation crossing the skies in Autumn/early Winter for northern observers. Its stars are not among the brightest ones, so its shape is only known to experienced observers. It hosts a...
The recent supernova in Messier 61 is the latest member of a very special and very small group, the one including all the supernova events happened in 2014 in a Messier galaxy. So far,...
If there is a couple of relatively close galaxies that you have never seen, likely they are Maffei 1 and Maffei 2. While they are closer than 10 millions of light years (well, that...
This image of the possible Supernova PSN J02262331+2739348 in the UGC 1899 galaxy comes from the average of five, 120-seconds exposures, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope Project. The supernova was...
This is a good season for reasonably bright supernovae. Just before SN 2014dt in Messier 61 was discovered, another bright supernova has been found in NGC 4080, named MASTER OT J120451.50+265946.6 after the survey which...
