I have planned to go to do deep sky astrophotography and I want to capture this Supernova, but I dont know if it is still visible or its magnitude is higher now.

I just searched about it at the internet but i didn't find anything, can anyone help me?

Thanks, clear skies.

Probably yes, around 12th magnitude: https://www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2023/sn2023ixf.html

(And dear AB members, when uploading an image of M101 (with or without the supernova) please provide a DATE in the Acquisition Details)

Thanks for you answer!

Finally, the clouds didnt let me capture this object so i cant confirm its magnitude.

I had the same question, but 1 year later. I took this image last night (25 June 2024).
