His video documents his experience. Additional footage of MacDonald Observatory is nice. Reminds me of my trip there 20+ years ago.

Set a reminder and at 3 pm it showed 24 hrs left.

Jerry Greenwood: When I wrote up the post and checked the live stream, it then said it was going live in about five hours, that day. That schedule has now changed.

Not that this matters. The brightening of the supernova is kind of like watching the second hand of a clock. It moves, but it is almost imperceptible. Today, tomorrow, the changes will be slow and similar.
