The discoveries of three apparent supernovae on unfiltered CCD survey images have been reported – 2003iu by M. Armstrong (cf. IAUC 8207), 2003iv by J. Burket and W. Li (LOTOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8224), and 2003iw by T. Boles (cf. IAUC 8212) and by Armstrong (tabulated data for SN 2003iw below from Boles). SN 2003 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag.

SN 2003iv in PGC 10738, Oct. 8.4, [19.0 (K); 18.4, 17.1 (K). SN 2003iw in NGC 7102, Sept. 15, [19.5 (B); 23, [19.5 (B); Oct. 7, [19.5 (B); 18.304, 17.6 (B); 18.873, 17.1 (A). Nothing is visible at the locations of SNe 2003iu or 2003iw on various Palomar Sky Survey plates. Armstrong adds that nothing was present at the location of SN 2003iw on his images from July 12 and Oct. 14, and he provides the following position end figures for the same object: 43s.20, 02".3.
