Supernova 2026kid in Galaxy NGC 5907

 Long Long Ago in A Galaxy Far Far Away... Star died in a Spectacular Display...

it happened when dinosaurs still roaming the Earth. This galaxy is 46.5 million light years away means it takes that many years light to reach us. so basically we are seeing in past.

A tiny speckle in image below is Supernova in Galaxy NGC 5907 : 46.5 million light years away.

Supernova 2026kid currently 15.6 mag discovered on 22 April 2026.

I managed to capture it y'day 27 April 2026.

Captured with DWARF 3

Processed in Siril : 3x Drizzle and Cropped.

60sec / 60gain / 164subs : 2hrs 22min total.

Finally after months and months wait got clear night and morning on April 10th.

So I took opportunity and set alarm to 3:30am, and headed out to darker sky (my place is bortle 7-8, but 20min of driving can get me into bortle 5)

Putting my recently acquired DWARF 3 smart telescope to its paces, quickly grabbed 80subs of 15sec.

Used auto stacked (unprocessed) fit from Dwarf and final processing done Siril & PS.

Location : Rocky View Country, AB
