Supernova Search Committee Circular #10

January, 1996

Dear Supernova Searching Comrades,

The new year provides us all with a new range of opportunities, not only to do things which interest us astronomically, but also to do many other things as well, of lesser or of greater value.

Since my last circluar, at the one extreme three supernovae have been discovered by amateurs visually. (None by CCD or photography.)

Also, a new surge has happened in the search for, discovery and study of extremely faint supernovae which will play a role in solving fundamental questions of cosmology, using four-metre-class telescopes for each stage of this work.
