More observations are needed of these active type IIP supernova! The task is simplified by a the presence of a very bright guiding star few arc minutes of the supernova. A fine object for LISA/LHIRES150 spectrographs and more generaly low/medium instruments.
The 2D image seem shows also a surounding bright nebula, see here for more details:
