The other night I decided to image Arp 28 for no particular reason other than it was low on the eastern horizon and I could image for a long time without a meridian flip. When I processed the image this morning, I noticed a "star" seemingly in NGC 7678 that wasn't supposed to be there. A quick check on the internet revealed that it is Supernova 2009ga discovered in June. No supernova discovery for me! Anyway, it was "cool" to discover something that you weren't expecting.
Some of these Arp galaxies sure are small although I do enjoy the imaging challenge even though I am only 25 miles north of Minneapolis/St Paul MN.
Specs are as follows: C11 @ f/12,MI-250,Pyxis,AO8,ST8XME,-20C, 25x5min 2x2 subs.
