Image Details:

Supernova 2022hrs was discovered in NGC 4647 that is the companion galaxy to M60 on April 16th 2022 by Koichi Itagaki. This image shows 2022hrs still brightening three days later now mag 13.9. A bright supernova in this pair is a great photographic target. The near full Moon has been close to Virgo where M60/NGC4647 is located and has washed out the initial view. This image was captured in the first available night when the Moon was still below horizon yielding a dark sky.With more moonless nights coming for SN 2022hrs there will be lots more time to improve on the 30 mins of summed capture shown.
