SN 2011eu

    I was wondering if this could be SN 2011eu, first spotted by jq2uoz.

    SN 2011eu discovery date is 2011-06-06 while KiDS only started observing the 50 first tiles on 15 october 2011.

    And also the discovery coordinates seem off from the KiDS image;

    enter image description here

    Is it possible the coordinates are just a little off and it was still visible somewhere in between 4 months and 15 months later? Or could it be a second unreported supernova?
