Supernova 2008ft in PGC 64319.

TAN T.G.

Abstract (from CDS):

T. G. Tan (Mt. Claremont, Western Australia) reports his discovery of an apparent supernova on 20-s CCD images taken on Aug. 29.51 and Sept. 1.52 UT with a Celestron C9.25 Schmidt-Cassegrain f/10 reflector (+ 0.63x reducer + Artemis ART-285 CCD camera + Schuler V filter; image scale 2" per pixel); he measured mag 15.5 on the second date, along with the following precise position for 2008ft: R.A. = 20h13m59s.96, Decl. = -44o21'07".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 39" east and 1" south (clearly separated) of the nucleus of the galaxy PGC 64319 (ESO 284-G32); nothing is visible at this position on a U.K. Schmidt Telescope Unit plate from 1995 May 31 (limiting red mag roughly 18, via USNO-A2.0 catalogue reference stars).
