Novae and Supernovae

Supernova Images 2007-2009 Nova Monitoring

Hunting for new supernovae is one of the most competitive areas of amateur astronomy and is an area that has never really appealed to me. Doing follow-up photometry is almost as useful but is far less stressful. Novae hunting is far less high profile but again novae offer significant scope for amateur participation - particularly in the area of long term multi-colour observations.
