Supernova in Aries

Has anyone seen the supernova in Aries that is featured on the Astromart home page? I tried it from WSP with a 20 inch scope without success. The only "tools" I had were the pictures and the coordinates. Some of the time my "GoTo" was functioning as "GoNear" so I may not have been right on it. I didn't find any info on what the magnitude of the stars in the star field of the image on the home page was. They may have been pretty dim. Has anyone seen it? Anyone have any info on a finder chart for it? I would like to try it with the big Dob.
