Hello all, I did an observation of SN2006ce a couple of days ago.I had a couple of problems with my ccd camera so I was only able to do a short exosure.I have...
... After clicking around a bit I found that I had it set up so that only I could look at the archive. It is now open to every body (even non members) to...
Hi all, good image. I see B. Monard used V filter and got 12.55 so magnitude estimate seem to be right. If this is type I, the supernova may be over the hill. ...
Is this something useful to forward to the list? ... Dear Dan- Here is spec ids of two bright SN... SUPERNOVA 2006ci IN ESO 182-G10 J. Blackman, B. Schmidt ,...
hello, I have thought a little about it. If evry thing is forwarded we may only delete them. But if only bright SNe and interesting cases are forwarded. I sure...

... Actually, I had a long talk with Dan Green one day about this. When it comes to specetra of supernovae, I can publish this data before it hits the IAUC....

... The short answer, Politics. Professionals have to pay a "line fee" every time they submit anything to CBAT. Some groups have decided that they don't want...
... No, notice of the discovery (and the earliest confirmation) is not a subject of line charge. Possibly the group loves ATEL rather than IAUC because of its ...
Just to carrying the question a little further...... I have an automated observatory concentrating on Asteroid Lightcurves and once a month I image 50...
Hi all, I will say that there is always a chanse to discover a supernova. I think on average one can make a discovery on one in 5000 images, when one search...
Hello, I will agree with Odd, but only for the southern hemisphere. As a northern observer from Hellas, I'm living with a much rigorous competition here and I...
I find it interesting that people keep referring to "competition" :-) Personally I only bother to participate in areas where there is a need rather than...
More than 100 targets a night? How many scopes are you using and how short are your integrations? I was anticipating 3-4 minute integrations. Given that...
Hi all, in our search program from Perth Western Australia, we now get approximatly 500 images/clearnight. We use 1 minute exposure/image ( lim mag 18.0-18.5...
OK, given an average night of say 10 hours I could manage about 200 images at 1 minute integrations. I have to allow 2 minutes for movement from one target to...
Well it isn't' exactly corporate competition! We are just on the same field
of search and co-observe the same galaxies each clear night. In some
occasions this...
... Under ideal circumstances, we could divide up a list of targets to search amongst several different observers. This would allow us to cover as many...
If you examine supernovae searching from the scientific point of view,
indeed it's true that a global coordinated search would provide the best
possible tool...
Hi David and all on the chat list, I live in Brisbane - the Capital of Queensland in Australia. I have been searching for Supernova with good friends, Greg...
Prediscovery images of supernova 2006gi in NGC 3174 are starting to come in. The earliest date so far is 2006/08/31. Check any archived shots if you have...
The latest two supernovae on my page: http://www.RochesterAstronomy.org/snimages/ had their icons mades from FITS images (16 bit deep) given to me by Berto...
Hello to everyone in the list, I'm Constantinos Emmanouilidis from Hellas and yesterday I took an image of PGC19924 which showed something interesting but...
Hello again, I checked with one of my older reference image of this galaxy. There is already a bright spot in the galaxy at that place, so I don't think it is...
