2003IAUC.8214....1L

Further to IAUC 8207, W. Li reports the LOTOSS discovery of three apparent supernovae (2003im, 2003in, 2003ip) on unfiltered KAIT images. Also, T. Puckett, Mountain Town, GA; and B. Kerns, Stanton, ND, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (2003io) on an unfiltered CCD frame (limiting mag 19.3) taken with the Puckett Observatory 0.35-m automated supernova patrol telescope, the new object being confirmed on unfiltered CCD frames taken by M. Marcus on Oct. 2.16 UT. SN 2003 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag.

Additional approximate LOTOSS magnitudes (K = KAIT image; T = Tenagra II image): SN 2003im in a galaxy within Abell cluster 85, 2002 Dec. 28.1, [19.0 (T); Oct. 1.4, 17.3 (K). SN 2003in in IC 1956, Jan. 23.1, [19.5 (T); Oct. 1.5, 17.7 (K). SN 2003ip in UGC 327, 2002 Dec. 29.1, [19 (T); 2003 Oct. 2.3, 16.5 (K).
