Supernova SN 2024iss in the PGC 1846725 galaxy: an image – 28 May 2024.
We observed again the bright supernova SN 2024iss in PGC 1846725, likely at its peak now. Our image is below.
Supernova SN 2024iss in the PGC 1846725 galaxy: 28 May 2024.
The image above comes from the average of six, 120-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.
We estimated SN 2024iss as bright as mag. 12.5 (unfiltered, R-mags for the reference stars from the Gaia DR2 star catalogue), so this object is likely at its peak now. It is a type II supernova, found at the early stages of its explosion.
We will track this transient as long as possible.
