Bright Supernovae pages - Updates 1999

Bright Supernovae page
this page is not maintained. The latest SN links and
images can be found on the main
Bright Supernovae page.
12/29/99
- What can I say? I got board. I created a small (75x75) icon
of every current SN and added a small image to the
main page.
Please tell me
if this is a problem. The page won't load as fast now.
(if you turn image loading off it will look the same as before).

1999go,
1999gp, and
1999gq from

1999gq
(The most northern star of the three vertical ones)
12/18/99
- The Possible SN in M61
is now officially 1999gn from

Errata:
- 12/28/99 - Had the link to
SN 1973P attached to the entry for
1999go, not
1999gp.
Error persisted for 12 hours.
- 12/12/99 - Weidong Li from
LOSS noted an error on my
1999gi page.
NGC 3184 is on their
search list. Error persisted for about 1 day.
- 11/14/99 - Had the data for the north direction of
Nova SMC 1999 4

was mislabeled as 1999ee.
Error lasted about 4 hours.

1999dn. This error had been on
the page for about a month. Does anybody use these charts?

him on the 1999dk page was
actually an image of 1999dn.
This error persisted for several days.

and 1999dk swapped.
- 6/7/99 - Wrote down the host galaxy of

as it should be. Error persisted for about 12 hours.
Back to Bright Supernovae.
Back to Bright Supernovae - 1999.
