    Hallo Christoph,

    aus S&W 10/2021:


    NGC7814 mit Supernova

    Vom Little Palomar Observatory in Österreich aus fotografierte Walter Primik immer wieder die Spiralgalaxie NGC7814 im
    Sternbild Pegasus, auch als kleine Sombrerogalaxie bekannt. Am 1. Juli 2021 wurde dort die Supernova SN2021rhu (Pfeil)
    entdeckt.

    Hallo Christoph,

    ganz so schlimm ist es wohl nicht (trotz des Alters des verlinkten Artikels) ;)

    These factors leave amateur astronomers uniquely suited to capture relatively clear supernova. Their telescopes and imaging equipment are more attuned to brighter objects, and they tend to focus on just a few targets over the course of a night rather than a large-observatory survey that monitors the entire night sky. Tucker leads a project called Supernova Sighting on Zooniverse.org, a citizen science Web site, to enlist amateurs for this very reason. “Because amateurs can focus on observing just a few galaxies every night, if they’re going to catch something, they’re going to catch it quickly,” Tucker says.

    PS: Auslöser für meine Internetrecherche war erneutes Schmökern in:

    Gerade gefunden, weil ich so langam plane mit meinem EAA Equipment auch mehr zu tun als nur Schnellspechteln:

    The CBA Belgium Automated Supernova-Search Program

    Amateur astronomers play an important role in the discovery of supernovae : the vast majority of supernovae nowadays are found by amateurs, using CCD cameras attached to small- or medium size telescopes (20-cm to 60-cm). There are many different ways to systematically search for supernovae, although most methods share some fundamental characteristics. This article provides a detailed description of the CBA Belgium Automated Supernova Search Program, and the way it has been conceived. We hope it will be an inspiration to other amateur astronomers, who are considering to start a similar search program.
