What the magnitude means: 6 is the faintest a naked eye sees under dark skies, about 9 with binoculars, 12–13 with a small telescope, 14–15 with a larger amateur one. Magnitude here is at discovery; a supernova usually brightens by one or two magnitudes over the following week or two.

Filter: a supernova in a nearby galaxy (redshift 0.003589). This feed posts supernovae found at magnitude 14.5 or brighter or in galaxies within about 55 million light-years, and novae or unclassified transients at magnitude 12 or brighter; a reply follows when the object is classified.
