The cloud cover in Cheshire has been very unhelpful, how long will it be possible to see the Super nova from here?

My pics from this week below of SNs in both M101 [bright one!] and nearby M51 [now faint and fading]

The two million years is approximately the time humans have existed on earth and evolved from our simian cousins ! | That is just mindblowing!! Thank you for pointing snippets like that out, I love the immensity of it all. |

Light pollution has restricted my viewing of the plough.But like the information that comes with the pics.Milky way has been observed for 5 nights during the recent clear spell.
