We observed the supernova SN 2022wsp in the spiral galaxy NGC 7448, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image.
Supernova SN 2022wsp in NGC 7448 galaxy: 15 Oct. 2022.
The image above comes from the average of six, 180-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E) robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project. The supernova is indicated by an arrow in the upper left inset.
The host galaxy is the beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 7448, located at about 80 millions of light years. As for the supernova, we estimated SN 2022wsp as bright as mag. 15.2 (unfiltered, R-mags for the reference stars from the Gaia DR2 star catalogue). This transient was discovered on 3 Oct. 2022 by the DLT40 project and it is a type II supernova.
