Astrophotographer shares incredible ‘deep field’ image featuring a supernova discovered two weeks ago

True to his promise made a few days ago, astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy has released a deep-field image of a spiral galaxy that is under the spotlight for its brand-new supernova . On X, McCarthy shared a photo of the spiral galaxy Caldwell 30, or NGC 7331 , along with hundreds of other galaxies that make up the Deer Lick Group.

After capturing over 100 hours worth of exposures, I'm pleased to share my latest "Deep Field" image, containing THOUSANDS of galaxies and a brand-new supernova that just kicked off ~2 weeks ago! Timelapse showing the supernova, prints, and more details in the thread 👇 pic.twitter.com/RptuuTrxKy
