Here it is supernova SN 2025bvm in the nice spiral galaxy NGC 5957, recently imaged with our robotic telescopes.
The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second, unguided exposures, unfiltered, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″ + Paramount MEII + SBIG STL-6303E) robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project in Manciano, Italy. The supernova is indicated by an arrow in the upper left insert.
We estimated SN 2025fvw as bright as mag. 14.9 (R-mags for the reference stars from the Gaia DR2 star catalogue). SN 2025fvw was discovered on 26 March 2025 and it is a type Ia supernova.
