It would be nice, but not in our lifetime buddy!
How is your forecast? If you can, I'd let the Moon clear out of the way first, at least by one evening if your forecast will support the wait.milanpicard wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:48 am Will it still brighten or just fade from now on? The Moon is very near it, and brightening to a bit less than 13mag would also help my 8dob. Cuz of the late hour show, I will only go out once for it. Should it be asap or should I wait a few days?
We don't know with absolute certainty how quickly this type 1c will decline. As I stated in the first post it is separated from the core by 4", and as you can see by the linked image there, it is a tight pairing. So agree with Bryan that you should allow the moon to get out of the way. Unfortunately we don't know if in the time it takes for that to occur, the thing will peak and begin its decline. As you well know, SNe observing is a bit of a crap shoot! Good luck, I wish I were at home where I could take a shot at it.milanpicard wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:48 am Will it still brighten or just fade from now on?

And how much is the separation from the core? Less than 2"? I will never be able to separate it if it is so. Is it too much to ask for a sn of 11 mag in say Andromeda, wit h a srparation of 6"?
Well forecast says clear but it's so darn foggy like a soup. Guess I will have to wait and that is that. Maybe it will be good and it will brighten and the moon will take a hike as well.bladekeeper wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:52 amHow is your forecast?

Thanks, Alan... I hope I can actually see something of it. Why, where are you now, by the way?kt4hx wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 3:24 pmWe don't know with absolute certainty how quickly this type 1c will decline.

I am somewhere far, far away, deep inside of a bright city. While I can see stars of at least 3rd magnitude without the moon present, it is not a good place to be with smallmilanpicard wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 6:50 pmThanks, Alan...
