Есть подозрения, что в галактике NGC 5530 вспыхнула яркая (13.5
m на момент обнаружения) сверхновая с координатами: RA=14h18m25.6s Dec=-43
o22'54".
К сожелению, с территории РФ эта область неба не доступна, а вот для более южных наблюдателей появился новый интересный обьект.

W. E. Green, ed.) the visual discovery by Robert Evans, Hazelbrook, NSW,
Australia, of a ~13.5-magnitude bright probable supernova on Sept. 13.44 UT in
NGC 5530
(Virgo) (от автора:
не знал, что созвездие Девы так южно 
).
To quote from CBET 1065, the object is "located about 24"
west and 25" north of the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 5530 (R.A. = 14h18m.5,
Decl. = -43o24', equinox 2000.0) -- not to be confused with a bright
foreground star on the northeast edge of the nucleus. Nothing is visible at
this location on the ESO "B" survey or in the photograph of this galaxy in
Vickers and Wassilief's *Deep Space CCD Atlas: South*, although a very faint
knot appears in the position of the star in the blue survey. The existence
of the new star was confirmed visually within a few minutes by D. Nitschki,
using the same telescope, and within 20 minutes by S. Quirk using his
0.31-m reflector (+ Gstar-ex CCD, 2-min unfiltered exposure); a measurement
of the variable via Astrometrica software yields red mag 14.3 and R.A. =
14h18m25s.6, Decl. = -43o22'54"."
