We imaged the bright supernova SN 2024inv in the lenticular galaxy NGC 3524. It is classified as a type Ia supernova, here it is our picture.
The image above comes from the average of two, 300-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with the C14+Paramount ME+ST8-XME robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. The supernova is indicated by an arrow in the upper left insert.
