Further to IAUC 8447, W. Li reports the LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 16.6) on an unfiltered KAIT image taken on Dec. 1.57 UT. SN 2004gn is located at R.A. = 12h34m12s.10, Decl. = +2o39'34".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 55".0 east and 21".4 north of the nucleus of NGC 4527. A KAIT image on June 10.21 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0). H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, reports that K. Itagaki, Yamagata, Japan, has confirmed the existence of the new object at red mag about 16.7 in unfiltered CCD images taken on Dec. 2.806 (the position end figures given as 12s.10, 34".7).
