系外恒星比木星亮真是想多了。。。天上肉眼可见的所有恒星都是银河系内的。系外恒星根本难以捕捉单个恒星的光点。
M66距离3500万光年,按木星的-2等计算,绝对星等M=-2+5*log10(32.616/35,000,000)=-32等
这次M66的超新星鉴定结果是II-P型超新星,最高亮度也不过绝对星等-17等

During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN or "Assassin"), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Brutus" telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii, we discovered a new transient source, most likely a supernova, in the galaxy M66. ASASSN-16fq (AT 2016cok) was discovered in images obtained on UT 2016-05-28.30 at V ~ 16.7 mag. We do not detect (V>17.1) the object in images taken on UT 2016-05-24.32 and before. An image obtained on UT 2016-05-28.47 by G. Bock confirms the discovery of the transient. This figure shows the archival DSS image of the host (left) and the G. Bock confirmation image (right). The red circle has a radius of 10" and is centered on the position of the transient in the G. Bock image. The position of ASASSN-16fq is approximately 69" from the center of the galaxy M66 (z=0.002425, d=10 Mpc, via NED), giving an absolute V-band magnitude of approximately -13.4 (m-M=30, A_V=0.09). Properties of the new source and photometry are summarized in the tables below: Object RA (J2000) DEC (J2000) Disc. UT Date Disc. V mag Approx. Abs. Mag Offset from Host ('') ASASSN-16fq 11:20:19.09 +12:58:57.2 2016-05-28.30 16.7 -13.4 69 Obs. UT Date V mag 2016-05-24.32 >17.1 2016-05-28.30 16.7 Follow-up observations are encouraged. While we are participating in the TNS system to minimize potential confusion, ASAS-SN will continue using ASASSN-16xx transient names as our primary nomenclature (including supernovae, but also other classes of transients), and we encourage others to do the same. We prefer merging the names as ASASSN-16xx (AT2016xyz) to preserve, rather than anonymize, the origin of the transient. We thank LCOGT and its staff for their continued support of ASAS-SN. ASAS-SN is supported by NSF grant AST-1515927, the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) at OSU, the Mt. Cuba Astronomical Foundation, George Skestos, and the Robert Martin Ayers Sciences Fund.
