Bauer, Yale University) reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 19.7) on an unfiltered CCD image obtained on Aug. 8.5 UT with the QUEST II camera on the Palomar Oschin 1.2-m Schmidt telescope (taken in the course of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking component of the Palomar-QUEST survey). SN 2005du, which was confirmed photometrically on Aug. 11.5 with the Lick 1-m Nickel reflector and found to be a type-II via spectroscopic observations with the 5-m Palomar reflector by A. Gal-Yam on Aug. 17, is located at R.A. = 0h09m34s.7, Decl. = +12o45'21".4 (equinox 2000.0).
