LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 15.9) on an R-band image taken on Mar. 22.02 UT with the 0.41-m "PROMPT 4" telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object, which is also present in an image taken on Mar. 18.14 at mag approximately 16.7, is located at R.A. = 8h35m53s.39 ± 0".1, Decl. = +0o42'23".1 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 2".0 west and 2".6 south of the center of the galaxy NGC 2618. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Mar. 1.08 and 10.07 (limiting mag 17.5).
