We show applicability of our new method, Dense Shell Method (DSM), for measuring astronomical distances using an example of supernova SN2009ip, which had several outbursts. The method is based on the original Baade idea. Distance to this supernova is well measured via Cosmic Distance Ladder and generally assumed to be 20.4 Mpc. Our method directly gives a very close result, namely we find that the median distance is 20.1+/-0.8 (68% CL) Mpc to SN2009ip assuming the most reasonable values for its parameters.
