N. Morrell, G. Folatelli, and W. Krzeminski, on behalf of the Carnegie Supernova Project, report that 2006is was detected at V = 16.2 in u', B, and V CCD images obtained on Sept. 30.4 UT with the 1.0-m Swope telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, providing position end figures 34s.37, 54".5. A spectrogram, obtained by A. Dressler and D. Ossip on Oct. 1.34 with the IMACS Spectrograph attached to the Magellan I Baade telescope at Las Campanas, confirms the new object as a type-Ia supernova around maximum light. The supernova is most probably hosted by the faint galaxy located 3".2 east and 6".5 south of the position of the supernova (the same galaxy noted by Mostardi et al. above, and also mentioned by Maddox et al. 1990, MNRAS 243, 692).
