2005IAUC.8588....2D

A. Dimai, Cortina, Italy; and M. Migliardi, Tour Tour, France, report discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.1) in the course of the CROSS program (cf. IAUC 7373) on four unfiltered CCD images taken on Aug. 25.1 UT with the 0.5-m 'Ullrich' telescope at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The new object, which was confirmed at mag 16.8 on three images taken on Aug. 26.13, is located at R.A. = 7h27m31s.75, Decl. = +85o45'15".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is 18" east and 1" south of the nucleus of NGC 2276. Nothing is visible at this position on mages taken on Feb. 17 (limiting mag about 19.0) by F. Manzini and on May 19 (limiting mag about 18.5), and it is absent from Palomar Sky Survey red and blue plates.
