Description:
At the intersection of the two white lines in my image is a faint spot which is the location of a Type Ic supernova SN 2023dbc as reported on 13 March 2023 from the Zwicky Transient facility (ZTF). Since my image was acquired 13-14 days later than first reported, it is likely that what is being seen is a supernova in a decaying state of brightness. Having acquired 122x300s subs, which equates to 10.2 hours of total exposure, I processed the data in Pixinsight.
