   More to the point how do you know there will be a supernova tomorrow?   
      
   The final implosion of a massive dying star is not something we have   
   ever been able to predict. When one occurs the resulting explosion makes   
   the star outshine the galaxy that it sits in for a few weeks.   
      
   Perhaps you meant something else?   
      
   First thing to try is constellation photography with a standard lens and   
   exposures in the range 30s to 2 minutes. Preferably on a fast film with   
   low reciprocity failure.
