When you are looking for information on the latest Supernovae, the first place to look (Besides the Bright Supernovae page) is the Recent IAU Circulars page, Recent CBET Circulars and IAU's List of Recent Supernovae web page. Other good places to look are ISN and VSNet. Looking for a subject which is truly international? Take a look at some of these links. The majority or the planet Earth is represented here.

If you would like to report your observations, VSNet accepts SN observations and compile them for future use. See the How to post your observations sub page for more information.   So, you think that you've found a new Supernova and want to know how to report it? First, check with the IAUC guidelines on how to report an Sn, and then look at the ISN remarks web page.   You can also use the CfA Minor Planet Checker to make sure that what you are looking at is an SN and not an asteroid.   Other good resources:
The LOSS search list (in ZIP format). This is the list of galaxies search by the LOSS search team. (original search list)
CBAT Possible supernova page (only showing faint objects)
CCD image subtraction software

OK, what do the different colored dots mean? Sites which have recent data are marked with (the color of an SN on the rise). Site which have seen updates in the last year are marked with (the color of a fading SN). Sites which haven't seen an update in years are marked with (a color you will only find in an SN remnant). Informational sites which don't need any updating are marked with .
