Took advantage of a - mostly - clear sky last night to re-observe NGC 4216 using the Seestar S50 smart telescope to see how much the supernova (SN2024gy) had faded. The comparison below shows the difference between its brightness some 2 and a bit months ago at 11th March 2024 compared to last night at 28th May 2024.

It can be seen that the supernova (near the top of the upper 'wing') has faded significantly - but is still faintly visible.
Fascinating !
