If you would like to report your observations, VSNet accepts SN observations and compile them for future use. See the How to post your observations sub page for more information.   So, you think that you've found a new Supernova and want to know how to report it? First, check with the IAUC guidelines on how to report an Sn You can also use the CfA Minor Planet Checker to make sure that what you are looking at is an SN and not an asteroid.   Other good resources:
