OBSERVING THE NEXT GALACTIC SUPERNOVA (2013, background): “The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (Minniti et al. 2010) will image a substantial fraction of the Galactic plane in the near-IR with sufficient cadence, but it is limited to a 5-year duration and a large fraction of likely SN progenitors will be brighter than its saturation limit.”
