Castro, University of Texas, report the discovery of an apparent supernova in unfiltered CCD images taken on June 24.17 (at mag about 16.5) and 26.17 UT (mag about 15.9) using the 0.45-m ROTSE-IIIb telescope at the McDonald Observatory. The new object is located at R.A. = 12h22m17s.21, Decl. = +12o23'49".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3" east and 1" north the center of the apparent host galaxy. ROTSE-IIIb images taken June 8.17 show nothing at this location (limiting mag about 17.5).
