Supernova is a stellar explosion which happens when a dying star collapses, releasing enough gravitational energy to destroy the whole star! The most luminous supernova in the last 400 years was observed in 1987.

After Denis managed to start the first "AD Anonymus" online stream, enabling a few people to virtually observe through our telescope, an idea came up to make this a common practice. We thank the "Night Skies Network" web site and MALLINCAM Video CCD Observational System for providing us the opportunity to do that.
That website is specifically developed for online streaming of observations done by amateur astronomers. Yesterday we streamed with our Phillips TouCam webcam and Celestron C8. With a bunch of Croats and Americans we enjoyed the view on Jupiter and its satellites. We thank them on their support!

Another SN, discovered one month after the first imaging. FIrst time we have missed it!
2010gq, CBET 2389 discovered 2010/06/19.136 by La Sagra Sky Survey Supernova Search Found in CGCG 382-041 at R.A. = 00h17m25s.70, Decl. = -00°58'37".7 (= PGC 1142) Located 5".5 west and 8".2 north of the nucleus of CGCG 382-041, Mag 17.5 (16.5), Type unknown
SUPERNOVA 2010gj IN PGC 190539 Filip Novoselnik, on behalf of La Sagra Sky Survey Supernova Search Team (including also Denis Vida, Ivica Skokic, Robert Gregic, Salvador Sanchez, Jaime Nomen, Reiner Stoss, Bill Yeung, Juan Rodriguez, and Miguel Hurtado), reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.0) on three CCD images (limiting magnitude about 20.0) taken on July 20.101, 20.116, and 20.132 UT with a 0.45-m telescope. The new object, which was also found at V = 18.0 in six stacked 90-s images taken at La Sagra with a 0.40-m telescope on July 16.091, is located at R.A. = 21h50m54s.34, Decl. = -17d46'09".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 6" west and 5" north of the nucleus of the galaxy PGC 190539. Nothing is present on a Digitized Sky Survey image from 1995 June 5 (limiting red mag 22). A stacked image has been posted at the following website URL: http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/4003/pgc190539cand.png.
After we have introduced a few more people inte the search, which means increasing the number of checked galaxies, we have discovered 3rd SN!
