M 101 - Pinwheel Galaxy with SN2011feOn August 24 th Palomar Tranisent Factory discovered a type 1a Supernova in M101 [1]. As it where, it was predicted to peak/reported to have peaked in magnitude [2] (in the V band that is, at around 10.5 mag) by Sep 3rd. and it was a nice day I had to go for it. M101 is a spiral galaxy in Ursa Major, which was discovered by french astronomer P. Mechain in 1781 [3]. It's a face on spiral galaxy some 6 Megaparsecs away. The position of the SN is marked in the second image. The small smudges tothe upper right of M101 (east) and lower right (north) are NGC 5477and NGC 5474, respectively.
