Hi all, On an image taken with the BRT I noticed a faint star close to an anonymous galaxy named MCG-02-05-024. Could this object be a supernova? Enclosed is...
Hi Eddy, You will have to upload the image to the files section, then let everyone know you've done it. We don't allow attachments to CVnet (or BAAVSS alert)....

The image is centered at RA=01h37mn0.86s DEC=-9°22'11.9" its width is 0.4198° N is up, E is right with a rotation of 0.31° When I match by eye (this a JPEG)...
... I think Eddy actually refers to the 18th magnitude object at roughly 01:37:22.5 -9:16:20, about 5" SW of the galaxy. It looks a bit "sharp" though,...
Hi Patrick, Thanks! Indeed, that faint object is the one I meant. Still I can't figure it out what it is. A fault in the image or really a supernova? Who can ...
Hi Eddy Ah, now it gets clear. You mean the faint fuzzy that is marked with a short black streak between the two galaxies (the core of a larger one with a...
