Here's a 110-second-long image of the spiral galaxy M65 (NGC 3623) in Leo and the Type II supernova SN 2013am that I captured remotely on 4/9/2013 using the Bradford Robotic Telescope's 14" f/11 Celestron C14 SCT and FLI MicroLine camera located on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.  A Celestron focal reducer yielding an effective focal length of 1877mm at f/5.3 was employed.
