Recently, a new type II supernova SN 2024abfo was discovered in the galaxy NGC 1493, on 2024-11-15 by ATLAS, discovery mag 16.793.
This image is processed data from 2024-11-18, I managed to image NGC 1493 and SN 2024abfo on 2024-11-17 and 2024-11-18 so far. Measurements of L brightness in Tycho yields:
2024-11-17: 16.82 – 16.91 mag (median, 2 batches, not reliable, passing clouds)
2024-11-18: 16.70 – 16.64 mag (median, 5 batches)
