Hello,
Two and a half hours of clear sky at 04.February 2014 were sufficient to hold the SN in M82 and take a long walk on the winter night sky.
After a tough cloud cover and then the mist had dissolved about 21:00 clock, I could start the observation with the TMB 115/805 Apo.
The supernova was a really great thing! Very bright and striking beamed the SN in the “cigar”. After a brief enjoyment, I started with the sketch!
Unfortunately, the review was only mediocre, so blurred finer structures of the galaxy almost. Nice to see was the interruption in M 82 and south two light specks.

Uwe,
Very fine sketch of the supernova.
It is down to about 13th magnitude as of this
date but still visible.
Frank 🙂
Well done Uwe, this is a very nice souvenir of this SN.
Uwe, since I haven’t been able to get out observing since the Supernova, it’s a real treat to view your sketch. It makes me feel like I’m at the eyepiece.
