Brilliant supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101)

 Here is a "before and after" comparison of SN2023ixf supernova in M101 (the Pinwheel Galaxy).

The left hand image I photographed in April, 2022 and the right hand image was taken last night (May 22, 2023). Can you spot it?









I hope to image it even better tonight !

This is the second supernova that I have imaged.
