Not true. Jean Yves has posted several great efforts on supernovas.
See his earlier post and link.

Hi,
I think your C11 is more than enough... get a CCD camera will be better. Anyway, I think the most importance requirement is PATIENT and a lots of them. You select a region of sky and scan them daily until you know every stars in that region. So, if a nova or supernovas appear in that region, you'll know it. Hope that someone in singapore will discover a supernova... Hmm... but who should we inform if we discover one??? :k-?: :k-?:

Have a nice day.

Hi Weixing,

You can always report discoveries of Ne and SNe to The Astronomer organisation:

Go well,
