Supernova 2022hrs with M60 and M59

A new supernova 59 million light years away in the spiral galaxy NGC 4647, discovered by Koichi Itagaki on 16 April 2022, shines brighter than its host galaxy's core. I was lucky enough to get two clear nights to capture this impressive phenomenon.

Supernova SN2022hrs shows up in the left side of the second large galaxy from the left.

Captured over two nights in April/May 2022.

Total integration time: 4h 15min.

--------- Alt Text -----------

A sparse star field featuring several galaxies.

Most prominently featured in the upper left are M60, a yellowish elliptical galaxy with a bright core growing softer toward the edges, and a smaller spiral galaxy appearing slightly blue with a yellow core. In the left spiral arm of this galaxy is a large, bright blue/white star, which is the recently born supernova SN2022hrs.

In the lower center are two small galaxies - a tiny elliptical, and what appears to be a spiral viewed edge-on.

In the right of the image is one more large elliptical galaxy and several smaller, fainter elliptical galaxies.

Several of the brighter stars in the image have a blue hue and large diffraction spikes, which is a result of the image having been taken with a Newtonian reflector telescope.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
