[AAVSO-DIS] supernova field

>>  Tonight, grabbed a v-filter image of SN 2004et.
>>  I decided to follow-up with an RGBL set after I saw the spiral structure...
  
     The boss of the world's most famous telescope taking some pictures
with his backyard telescope?!  Probably the only chance
he gets to do any astronomy!  Bubba likes it.

>>  I recommend you all taking a look at it visually.
  
     With this prompting, I have done so, too---while I babysit an
almost-robotic camera hunting for asteroids.  In my little 70mm Pronto
at 75x I identified the SN finally after realizing the faint star
I was using as a star-hopping reference in the immediate field was _it_.
I was able to see the mag 13 star just NE of it (fainter than the supernova)
despite excreable dark-adaptation, so it shouldn't be too hard for
anyone else with a bigger telescope.
