I apologize for the poor quality of this image.
It was acquired during a bright moon through high, thin clouds and shows the effects of gusty winds.
The forecast calls for rainy weather for the next week, so I guess that's all the data that I'll be able to gather on this one.
It is, however, my first image of a supernova and one can't be so choosy when gathering data for these.
Image details, a larger image, and information are here:

Thanks for looking,

dan

Dan,
Nice catch.

Are you going to become a super nova hunter now?

Thanks for the comments, guys!
Jim--No, I'm not going to become a supernova hunter, I'm just going to stay an opportunistic imager.
