Velimir Popov, Emil Ivanov, that is so interesting! The probabale supernova is not outstandingly bright. It must be remembered, however, that M99 is a quite bright galaxy. The supernova, if that is what it is, is also quite reddish. It might be dust-reddened, it might have gone unnoticed for some t...

... some ideas what can be this nebulosity ? http://www.irida-observatory.org/CCD/NGC772_770/NGC772-LRGB-1100px-question-mark.jpg I think it is likely to be galactic cirrus nebulosity as there is lots of it in the direction towards Aries. Many galaxies in Aries have great clouds of galactic cirrus ...

I guess I make invisible posts. Anyway, it's not a good thing to go so far speculating about magnetic fields just because you see some lines. Thank you GECKZILA, thank you ANN :-) Obviously further investigations are needed but now the good visibility (down to 40 degrees altitude) of these objects ...

If you got a deeper image of it you might be able to find some star stream connecting it somewhere to NGC 772... otherwise, who knows. Dwarf galaxy? Local cirrus? Another 15 hours? May be, one day :-) To find conections with NGC 772 will be great but I doubt of this. My first assumption was a cirru...
