Supernova in M101!!

I have been imaging M101 off and on for the last 2 years with the 11" Astrograph at the Slooh remote observatory in the Canary Islands, a one shot color camera.
I tend to image during the new moon and hadn't done anything since late April. I decided on the 20th of May to image M101. After getting the data I filed it and went on to other objects.
Yesterday I read about the SN in M101 and decided to check my files. I had imaged M101 on 5/20/2023 at 00:53 UTC and CAUGHT the supernova!!
It is a very early shot of it.

Here is M101 before (April 23rd) and on the 20th with the SN! Rather be lucky than good!

Location-location-location.
Or in this case, timing-timing-timing!

Nice captures both.

Clouds here have been keeping me from taking a crack at it.
Best

Nice catch Jeff. I went out last night for the first time since the SN was discovered but high winds and Murphy prevented me actually capturing anything of use. I did manage one 180sub that's out of focus (Murphy) and blurry from the 20mph wind gusts...

Have you imaged it lately? Just curious if it has started to fade yet?

No I haven't, been busy and has been cloudy.

I did on Friday the 8th(first time the clouds have gave me a chance) and it was the first thing that showed on my screen in first 10sec stack. “Still Very visible “
