When it goes super nova, I hope cameras are pointing towards where Planet 9 is expected to be and that maybe it would capture any light reflected back to the camera and re find Planet 9 that way. Is it possible to photograph Canis Majoris?

The town where I live now has installed LED lights all over the city, pretty much wiping out stars at night. Can you tell from the Space Station that city lights are brighter?
