Seeing was a mess...

In fact, this exposure was made under such seeing conditions, that usually you should close the telescope, go home, and enjoy some good wine instead of shivering in the cold. But a supernova does not wait for good seeing. It can be seen in the left galaxy  NGC 3169 near the core.
However this pair of galaxies (to the right you see NGC 3166) is really nice and we have put it on the ToDo list for better seeing.
