sn00dx_i.jpg This marks the first discovery of a collaboration between LOSS and amateur astronomer Mike Schwartz of Tenagra Observatories, now referred to as "LOTOSS" or the Lick Observatory and Tenagra Observatory Supernova Search. 2000dx is located just inside the "ring" of the ring galaxy UGC 1775, with maximum light was expected near 11/5/00, with a maximum brightness of around mag 17. However, it appears to have gotten as bright as mag 15.2 before leveling off. Much brighter than expected. We have a DSS Photometry reference image made by Odd Trondal.
