SN 2020jfo in M61 from Moscow.

Last night I tried to bring about this SN to my view at Bortle 9+ circumstances... and broke through the wind and the high clouds. The first half of imaging was carrying out before navigation twilight ending, on blue sky; the second one - at 3/4 Moon plus white urban sky.
All details are described on the images.
The second image is pure linear processing for rough brightness estimation.

Amazing images for such difficult conditions – well done!

Did you get an estimate for the brightness of the supernova?

Cheers, Robin

About 14,5 (star beneath - 14,26; next to the bottom - 14,06)
But it is not a correct estimation, because UV/IR-cut filter is not a V-band one...

That is very cool, Anton. M61- a home to many supernovae. Just a terrific capture.
