SN 2014J is a type Ia supernova where a white dwarf star attracts material from a companion star and at some point reaches a mass high enough to trigger a supernova explosion. This type of supernova is important as a reference lightsource that can be used to determine distances in the universe. SN 2014J is the closest Type Ia supernova since 1972.
Conditions were poor, bright sky due to a more than half phase moon. Processing: CCDSoft, Astroart 5.0, Pixinsight.
