Supernova in NGC 5587 (Boo) mag 14.5 Low probability of seeing due to
altitude.
Supernova 2006dy, a rising Type Ia sn in galaxy NGC 5587 in Boo, has
brightened to mag 14.5 and presents an astrophotography opportunity. I am
hesitant to list it because at 9:30pm, NGC5587 is at about 43 deg alt from
for an Intermountain o.p. (-112W) in the western sky. Extinction as the
target sets may prevent reaching this target. The details are:
