My patrolling has been a bit hit and miss over the years, but I have plans for a more structured programme now I have the Meade LX200. I have followed supernovae after discovery (but not for as long as I should). Here are a couple of images:
Supernova 1994D in NGC 4526
200mmSCT at f/5 Starlight Xpress CCD and 40 sec exposure
Supernova 1995al in Leo Minor
200mm SCT at f/5 and Starlight Xpress CCD and 40secs exposure
