Li report the LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Sept. 18.54 (at mag 17.0), 19.54 (mag 16.8), and 28.51 UT (mag 16.4). SN 2006is is located at R.A. = 5h17m34s.37, Decl. = -23o46'54".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".1 west and 4".9 north of a faint galaxy (the new object also being 103".1 east and 130".1 north of the nucleus of ESO 486-G49). There are several faint galaxies visible on the Digitized Sky Survey images in the neighborhood of the new object. A KAIT image taken on Feb. 4.11 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag 19.0).
