Holtzman, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces) reports the discovery of a type-II supernova (mag R = 19.1) in images obtained on July 29 UT using the QUEST-II camera on the Palomar Oschin 1.2-m Schmidt telescope, operated by the Palomar-QUEST Consortium. SN 2007gh is located at R.A. = 2h10m31s.08, Decl. = +2o19'59".3 (equinox 2000.0). A spectrum (range 320-1000 nm) of 2007gh, obtained on Aug 1.6 with the SuperNova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope, indicates that the supernova appears to be a few months old, with strong hydrogen Balmer emission features; an approximate redshift of z = 0.02 is derived by measuring the peak of the observed H-alpha feature.
