It is also known as "Supernova 1885".

It was discovered on August 20 1885 by Ernst Hartwig, working at Dorpat (Tartu) Observatory in Estonia. It reached magnitude 6, but faded to magnitude 16 by February 1890.

The star was reported to be reddish in color and declined very rapidly in brightness, which is atypical for Type Ia supernovas. Unfortunately no spectroscopic data is available.

In 1988, astronomer R. A. Fesen and others, using the 4-meter Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak, discovered the iron-rich remnant of the explosion. Further observations were made with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995.
