2005IAUC.8589....2J

Further to IAUC 8549, C. Jacques reports the discovery by C. Colesanti, E. Pimentel, T. Napoleao, and himself of an apparent supernova (mag 15.0) on unfiltered images taken on Aug. 27.03 and 28.95 UT with a 0.30-m f/3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in the course of the survey by the Brazilian Supernovae Search Team. The new object is located at R.A. = 20h11m11s.73, Decl. = -48o16'35".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".2 east and 5".6 south of the center of NGC 6861F (Sulentic and Tifft 1973, Revised NGC of Nonstellar Astron. Objects). Nothing is visible at this location on a CCD image taken on Apr. 5.23 (limiting mag 19.0) or on a red Palomar Sky Survey image from 1975.
