This one is not possible to see these days but in case anyone like to
keep up on SuperNovas that cannot be seen, here is the scope on a very
current SuperNova direct for the AAVSO notifications which I get nowdays.
AAVSO Special Notice #101
Supernova 2008bk in NGC 7793
March 28, 2008
The Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBET 1315,
D.W.E. Green, editor) announced the discovery of a bright apparent
supernova in NGC 7793 by L.A.G. "Berto" Monard of Pretoria,
South Africa. The supernova, SN 2008bk, is located approximately
2.3 arcminutes north of the nucleus of NGC 7793, a bright
flocculent spiral galaxy of type Scd. Monard measured the supernova
at magnitude 12.6 ± 0.2 at 2008 March 25.141 (JD 2454550.641).
This supernova has not yet been spectrally classified, but the
galaxy is undergoing active star formation and a core collapse
supernova is possible.
The supernova is located at RA: 23 57 47.5 , Dec: -32 33 24 (J2000)
