Stanislav Korotkiy, Moscow; and T. Kryachko and B. Satovskiy, Kazan State University (KSU), report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 19.2) on the five unfiltered 300-s images (limiting mag 21.0) taken on Aug. 30.72 UT with a Takahashi FRC-300 30-cm f/7.8 telescope (+ Apogee Alta U9000 CCD camera) at KSU's Astrotel Observatory (Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia). The new object is located at R.A. = 14h53m48s.26 ± 0".1, Decl. = +20o06'45".5 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 23".1 east and 12".1 south of the center of the galaxy UGC 9578 (PGC 53239). Nothing is visible at this position on a Palomar Sky Survey image obtained on 1993 May 19 (via the Digitized Sky Survey; limiting blue mag 21.5). After learning of Korotkiy's report, F. Kugel (Dauban, Banon, France) writes that C. Rinner and he obtained an unfiltered image (six stacked 120-s exposures) of comet C/2005 L3 on Aug. 27.87 with a 50-cm f/3 telescope that shows a new (apparently stellar) object of mag 18.4 located at R.A. = 14h53m48s.23, Decl. = +20o06'46".9 (equinox 2000.0), or about 25" east and 10" south of the center of the galaxy UGC 9578, again confirming the absence of such an object on the Palomar Sky Survey to a limiting blue magnitude of 21.5.
