T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 18.5) on unfiltered CCD images taken on June 27.929 and 28.942 UT with a 0.35-m reflector. The new object is located at R.A. = 15h44m46s.84, Decl. = +22o50'22".9, which is approximately 4".9 east and 4".8 north of the center of its apparent host galaxy; measurement by Boles of Sloan-r' images taken by M. Bode, J. Marchant, and A. Newsam on Aug. 9.959 with the 2-m Liverpool telescope at La Palma yields position end figures 46s.89, 23".0 (and mag about 18.3) for SN 2004dq. The new object is not present on Boles' images taken on 2004 Mar. 20 and May 18 (limiting mag 19.5) and on Digitized Sky Survey images (limiting red mag 22.0; limiting blue mag 21.5).
