Dangit, Dangit, Dangit!! -- I JUST imaged this galaxy with a 300D and an
8" Newt, and missed this SN by about a week. Do'h! Anyway, it would be
cool if someone DID image this. I've got a <sniff> "before" image to
compare to the "after":

And here's that "eye candy field" of 6946 and 6939 that Mark mentioned:

Here's another chart that shows the SN a bit better, IMO:
