Supernova SN2020jfo in M61 after 170 days with COAST




Mid May I made pictures of Supernova SN2020jfo in Galaxy M61. On July 11th, I did the same using the COAST telescope on Tenerife (after 51days); at that moment the supernova was still good visible. I did wonder if this was still the case. The conditions to make pictures of M61 are not good during the summermonths so I had to wait untill end of October. Recently on November7th, I received my picture of M61 taken with the COAST telescope (C14 F10, 120s Clear Filter). I guess, when looking carefully, I see a little faint blur on the location of SN2020jfo.
