The images also show 2007uy in both, and then 2008d added in the "after" shot. Thanks. Best, -cvj Hi,

Yes, I say this explicitly in the post in the second sentence after the images. The images also show 2007uy in both, and then 2008d added in the “after” shot.

Thanks.

Best,

Soderberg was focused on the galaxy containing 2007uy when 2008d burst. Thanks to Phil Plait for straightening me out. My bad. Soderberg was focused on the galaxy containing 2007uy when 2008d burst.

If Yoji Hirose is credited with the discovery of 2007uy on 12/31/2007, then how could the swift observation on 1/9/2008 be considered "real time"? ref: http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2007/sn2007uy.html Of course we know it actually happened 84 million years ago relative to present earth time, but we understand that they mean real time RET/.
