Supernova in Galaxie NGC2655

I have another report for you all , by my guest observer/imager Paul Cannon.
Paul was lucky enough, to image SN 2011B after being alerted by myself, after I received an alert from the BAA.

I how ever have not been so lucky, with work and fighting continue cloud coverage.

NGC 2655 Supernova
 
The images show a Supernova taking place in Galaxy NGC 2655 as it was on the 3rd of February 2011. The first picture is a wide field  image of 300s and the second a composite of
3 x 300s stacked images cropped to emphasise the action. Both were taken taken with a Canon1000D through a Celestron 8" SCT.
The Supernova was first discovered on 7th January 2011 by Koichi Itagaki and  Masaki Tsuboi
