There is a possibility of your being able to see a supernova, certainly with a telescope and possibly with binoculars.

The supernova is in the Pinwheel galaxy is located in the Big Dipper. I was going to check for this but the flooding rains came again last night and will return again tonight, thanks to Lee.

So please go to Sky & Telescope for all the information. If this supernova gets to mag 8, it will be visible with binoculars and that could happen so be sure to look if you have the skies!!
