image Discovered by Koichi Itagaki (Japan).   This is his second discovery in this galaxy.   This is his second time with a follow up discover this year.   This is the 6th discovery in this galaxy, it is a type II (the last 2 discoveries were also type II).   About 12 hours after the announcement, I already had 4 images of this one (and it is a dawn object at this time), so I created a page for it. We have a DSS Photometry reference image made by Odd Trondal.   Icon generated from the discovery image.   This supernova is in the Constellation Virgo.
