Jari Juutilainen photographed the supernova SN 2014J 28.1.2014 with DSLR -camera without any automatic tracking. Supernova was bright enough to be observed from the sinlge image (f2.8, ISO3200, 1,3s).
Here is Jari’s combined photo of the supernova and the galaxies that are in the same region of the sky.
