Armstrong reports his discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered CCD images taken on Apr. 6.906 (poor image), 9.963 (mag about 16.9), and 11.063 UT (mag about 17.0) with a 0.35-m reflector. SN 2004bh is located at R.A. = 9h40m56s.47, Decl. = +27o46'46".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is approximately 1".3 west and 6" north of the center of UGC 5161. Nothing was visible at this position on Armstrong's images taken on 2003 Nov. 12 (limiting mag 18.0), and 2004 Feb. 26 (limiting mag 18.5), or on Palomar Sky survey red and blue plates. M.
