Description:

Supernova SN 2023dbc is a newly discovered supernova in M108, the Surfboard Galaxy. It was reported on March 13th by the Zwicky Transient Facility. I took this image on March 19th from my backyard in the outskirts of Boston when it was at about Magnitude 18. See the corresponding video here that goes over my setup and compares M108 with what it looked like last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BmnD7vLNTc Hoping it gets brighter in the coming weeks so that I can get an even better shot.
