Further to IAUC 8622, R. Quimby and P. Mondol report the discovery of a supernova (mag about 17.2) in unfiltered CCD images taken on June 9.22 UT using the 0.45-m ROTSE-IIIb telescope at the McDonald Observatory. SN 2006cy is located at R.A. = 13h08m01s.23, Decl. = +26o06'59".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".3 east and 13".1 south of the center of the apparent host galaxy (catalogued redshift of z = 0.036 from Rines et al. 2001, Ap.J. 561, L41; via NED). The supernova was found by subtracting a co-addition of images taken between 2004 Dec. 15 and 2006 Jan. 10 (limiting mag about 19.3) from the 2006 June images.
