Estimates in the last few days, based on unfiltered CCD images, show it may now be magnitude 13.5 or brighter. More observations, both visual and via imaging, are needed of this object, especially if it is on the rise. The following e-chart with sequence by Krisciunas should assist: \\\\\\SN2000cx b in NGC 0524 S,400,6,S P,01h 24.8m +09 31' (2000) -C, 1.4133, 9.5392,2000 O,193,218,14,[19.5 -L,L,SN -G,199,200,50,50,0 -L,L,N524 -S,SN/042.01 -T,SN Seq: K.Krisciunas V R,11.15,199,223,1,A R,12.57,220,220,3,A R,13.49,212,205,2,R R,13.73,160,220,5 R,14.29,187,268,4 M,9,353,297 -L,L,94 M,9,295,98,348,183,58,303 M,10,375,101,362,187,308,32,150,150,387,256,143,308,311,343 M,10,162,251 M,11,278,109,201,85,284,189,47,180,172,146,396,213 M,11,34,302,226,326,341,260,379,345,272,365,296,231 M,12,175,37,212,101,319,68,204,179,9,150,398,163,143,366 M,12,184,384,347,327 M,13,152,123,42,141,298,159,354,42,391,176,302,71,24,138 M,13,163,101,362,178,68,300,310,241,102,192,125,325 M,13,48,356,33,235,69,320,61,352,156,332,224,347 M,13,310,248,293,220 M,14,262,21,333,184,23,174,287,62,85,68,164,118,175,125 M,14,125,151,242,82,35,146,202,71,274,103,152,151,182,177 M,14,104,5,138,289,206,390,317,193,165,274,189,290 M,14,246,14,215,278,249,317,294,230,123,343,382,339,343,260 M,15,69,65,380,43,324,53,121,169,66,173,288,18,40,96 M,15,137,100,178,76,167,33,259,167,235,104,23,119,295,180 M,15,34,111,195,67,373,155,148,164,34,77,375,306,251,229 M,15,15,277,121,332,388,277,183,319,325,358,2,217,248,308 M,15,387,273,174,385,344,192,1,288,18,302,127,250,188,165 M,15,171,294,395,243 E,124 ////// Basic chart automatically generated by CHART ver 1.6 Guy M Hurst
