Supernova that was observed August 24, within 24 hours of outburst, is visible in the Pinwheel Galaxy using binoculars or a small telescope. Has anyone seen it yet? My skies have been cloudy since this was announced.

Supernova in M101 galaxy is still visible even with small instruments (>15×80 binocular, or >100 monocular).
This is image from 3×50 Exelon NV + Canon A570IS (30×8s exposures with ISO200). Date 25.9.2011. Resolution is very low, only ~2 arcmin.
