NGC 327 with SN2021aclv - 2021-11-03 (T+4.7d)
Image below (2021-11-03.947) was taken 4.7 days after reported discovery of 2021aclv
Supernova's reported position is shown by white cross-hairs
It is not possible to demonstrate presence of SN as it is
 too close to the host galaxy's nucleus and too dim
Measured magnitude +15.2 (nucleus + SN)
vs Host Galaxy catalog mag (+13.5 or +14.1)
& SN reported magnitude at discovery (+17.3)
The bright object lying above the galaxy is confirmed to be a star (Aladin)
