he's showing it live tonight (still light where he is so I'm guessing it may be a while)

Excellent!

To actually get some of the photons from this supernova to land in your eyeballs, the next week or so will be a good time to try it.  All you need is a decent pair of binoculars (preferably with a tripod) or a basic telescope. Here's a link which will point you to the right spot in the sky. As the late Jack Horkheimer used to say, "Keep looking up!"

I'll be in Greece on Wednesday for a while, but I suppose that diagram still applies.  Not much chance here, it's too cloudy.

Aw, that's sad ;;  though, delicious greek food can make you feel better!
