Supernova sn 2017gxq in Ursa Major

On 18-Oct-2017, I tried to picture a quite bright supernova sn 2017gxq, which exploded in a galaxy NGC 4964 (Ursa Major).
Despite the galaxy with the supernova was quite low in the sky (altitude ~29*) and in the direction near the city center (huge light pollution!) I managed to catch it.
Note that a parent galaxy is not visible at all (only very weak nebulosity could be mentioned).
My rough estimation of supernova's brightness is ~14.2m+-0.2
