Image taken with SBIG STL-1301E thru an OGS 20-inch F/8 RC Cass at 2:30 UT
on May 1, 2008. My focus was a little off on this one and a sattlite when
thru one of the eleven 60 second subexposures.

SN 2008bt is a type Ia and I measured it at magnitude 16.3.

NGC 3404 (aka IC 2609) is not much of a galaxy for small telescopes at
magnitude 14 and 2 arc minutes. The type is uncertain, but is probably a
barred spiral seen edge-on.

All's right with the world again. George is imaging SN in faint fuzzies.

I should check for these guys more often but right now just finding a
night to image is a once a month event.
