Comment : Early photo this season, equipment not calibrated and setup correct yet. I have a Supernova outside my window and took a photo of it or more the area around it. The Supernova was discovered in September 3rd, 2025 an then it had magnitude of 17.48CV. But that is very weak, if I compare this photo with the ones in the links above I have hard to tell which the stars are. One clue is that the Supernova belongs to the galaxy, WISEA. J051007.48+512247.4. The Chinese team at Xingming observatory used a 0.5m f/4 reflector. That is twice the focal length and 15 times the light collection area compare to what I have, for sure they where at a dark place too. Photo with overlay grid: SN 2025wxl, from Astrometry.net.
