Kessler, Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, Chicago; and C. Baltay, A. Bauer, D. Herrera, and D. Rabinowitz, Yale University) reports the discovery of two supernovae in NEAT images (cf. CBET 263) obtained on June 1.2 UT using the QUEST II camera in drift-scan mode on the Palomar 1.2-m Schmidt telescope. Spectra (range 320-1000 nm) obtained with the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope on June 5.4 were used for classification.
