A section of an Hα image of M101 taken on 16 March 1997 UT showing the position of the nova, M101-1997-02 (in the center of the left circle), compared with the position of the recent supernova in M101, PTF11kly/SN2011fe (located approximately at the center of the right circle). The two objects are not spatially coincident (The radii of the circles are significantly larger than the positional uncertainties).
The image is approximately 7' x 3' with N up and E left.
