2003IAUC.8067....1W

Further to IAUC 8066, W. M. Wood-Vasey, G. Aldering, and P. Nugent report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 15.6) on unfiltered NEAT images taken on Feb. 3.56 and 3.57 UT. The object appeared at mag 15.7 on images from Feb. 7. The new object is located at R.A. = 11h10m21s.69, Decl. = +23o24'50".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4" east and 2" south of the center of the apparent host galaxy. There is evidence for a point source at this location on images taken with the same telescope on Jan. 19, but nothing is present in Palomar images from the Digital Sky Survey.
