C. Jacques and E. Pimentel, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, report their discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 12.8) on unfiltered CCD images taken on Feb. 8.22 and 10.23 UT with a 0.30-m Schmidt- Cassegrain reflector in the course of the CEAMIG/REA Supernovae Search. The new object is located at R.A. = 13h04m44s.06, Decl. = -49o33'59".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 407" west and 351" south of the center of NGC 4945, but which also lies in a rather rich area of foreground Milky Way stars in Centaurus. Nothing in visible on a CCD image taken by Jacques on 2004 June 20.93 (limiting mag 18.5) or on a red Digitized Sky Survey plate from 1976.
