Hi Volker,

welcome! And thanks for sharing your observations!

I am absolutely not an expert on optical observations and photometry. With this disclaimer, I believe your source 147 is dominated by the host galaxy of the transient [AT 2024kbl](https://astro-colibri.com/event:TNS2024kbl). You can use the link to the Aladin or ESA-Sky platforms that are available in Astro-COLIBRI (web: bottom right of the screen; mobile: last screen to the right =\> External links) to get an overview the region from archival data. The Aladin link brings you to this page:

> **[P/DSS2/color visualisation of 13 31 23.635 +9 49 26.832 in Aladin Lite](https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/AladinLite/?target=13%2031%2023.635%2B9%2049%2026.832&fov=0.1&survey=P%2FDSS2%2Fcolor)**
>
> P/DSS2/color HiPS survey visualized in Aladin Lite. Target: 13 31 23.635 +9 49 26.832 - Field of view: 6.00 arcmin

As you can see, the host galaxy is already rather bright. You observations certainly include light from the transient source AT 2024kbl, but I am not sure you’ll be able to tell it apart from the host emission.

To find an easier target you may want to have a look at one of the transients selected by and for amateur astronomers, in this case the [RAPAS](https://rapas.imcce.fr/) network: [RAPAS observation list starting 2024-05-31](https://forum.astro-colibri.science/t/rapas-observation-list-starting-2024-05-31/183)  
As example, the supernova [SN 2024ggi](https://astro-colibri.com/event:TNS2024ggi) is still at a V magnitude around 12.7. It is monitored extensively by amateur + professional observers. Many observations are reported to the [AAVSO](https://www.aavso.org/LCGv2/index.htm?DateFormat=Julian&RequestedBands=&view=api.delim&ident=SN+2024ggi&fromjd=2458465.805463&tojd=2460465.805463&delimiter=@@@) (the link is also available in Astro-COLIBRI). This could also be a place to share the results of your observations, i.e. the extracted photometric measurements.

All the best,  
Fabian
