Discovered by
CHASE (Chili).
This one turned out to be an LBV (
Luminous Blue Variable), similar to an
Eta Carinae type event, and not a supernova.
If you read the attached ATEL you will see that this object went through
a brightening phase, similar to that of
Eta Carinae before it's great
eruption of 1843.
We have a DSS Photometry reference image made by Odd Trondal.
Icon generated from the discovery image.
This supernova is in the
Constellation Pisces Austrinus.
