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,...
After almost four month since our last observation, at Virtual Telescope we observed again supernova SN 2014dt in Messier 61. Discovered late in Oct. 2014, this supernova was still visible there, of course much...
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...
Messier 101 surely is one of the most beautiful spiral galaxies out there. Because of its relative proximity (about 20 millions of light years), its face-on geometry and the elegance of its arm, the...
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,...
On 9 Dec. 2014 the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN), using data from the quadruple 14-cm “Brutus” telescope in Haleakala, detected a probable supernova in NGC 4666. This transient was designed ASASSN-14lp. Later, it was...
After almost two months, at Virtual Telescope we visited supernova SN 2014dt and its hosting galaxy Messier 61 again. The picture comes from the average of two, 180-seconds exposures, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E...
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,...
This image of the possible Supernova PPSN J02183806+3336583 in the PGC 2035709 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 estimated at...
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...
