Patrick Wiggins reports a bright (mag 14.2) possible supernova in NGC6217
https://wis-tns.weizmann.ac.il/object/2018gj
A low resolution spectrum could confirm this.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for this information but actually in south East of France, the weather is not very find....

Gelato classe cette SN comme une SN de type IIb avec une phase de ~6 jours


Le champ de ciel :

C'est vraiment de la chance car toute la journée la météo a été nuageuse et ventée puis un peu dégagé vers 18h. L'année commence bien. Merci Robin pour l'alerte.

Thanks Etienne,
SNID predicts a type IIP but with reduced confidence (rlap =3.7 compared with 5.0 for a reliable classification ) see attached SNID best fit
Cheers

Thanks Robin for the alerte.
It's a very lucky time for the weather.
For the type of SN it's possible that is a type IIP. I think it's interesting to take a new spectra in many days or 1 week. If the weather 'll good i take spectra of 1800s for a better SNR.

Hi Etienne,
Yes early type II are difficult. The spectrum should develop stronger Balmer lines later.
Cheers

Type II classification now also confirmed

Congratulations to Patrick for the discovery and Etienne for the quick spectroscopic confirmation on TNS. Another “all amateur” supernova !

Great job Etienne! A success on a very difficult object.
Very useful the Robin assistance.

Merci pour vos messages.
En fin de nuit après des étoiles Be j'ai tenté de reprendre cette supernova. Malheureusement le ciel s'est couvert et est devenu très opaque, le signal reçu n'est pas bon. A refaire pour avoir un meilleur signal.

Ha arrive à 6401.5A
Donc la vitesse de l'éjecta :
Vitesse ejecta = (((L1 - L0) / L0) x c) - V helio - V NGC6217
Vitesse ejecta = (((6401.5 - 6562.8) / 6562.8) x 299792.458) - 3.382 - 1363
Vitesse ejecta = - 8734 km/s
