[vsnet-chat 779] RE: location of SN 1998T

[Lasse Teist Jensen <ltj@cci.dk>]

Dear Colleagues,

I haven't made any mag estimates of SN1998T yet, but I have a CCD image
of the area.
And there is several knots close to the nucleus of NGC 3690. 
Images with and without the supernovae would help a lot in the
identification.

Regards 

Lasse Teist Jensen
