No sooner did I get a chance to image a supernova this year that I heard about another one. This time in NGC 4125, a 10th-magnitude elliptical galaxy in Draco. There are a fair amount of supernovae discovered in a single year, but I'm talking about ones bright enough to be imaged, or even visually observed (with a telescope of course).
With the cloudy skies returning, and then the moon getting in the way, it may be a challenge to image SN2016coj this month, but I will try. Details on both of the supernovae can be found at
Sky and Telescope.
