The new object is located at R.A. = 2h10m36s.63, ± 0".1, Decl. = -53o45'59".5 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000), which is about 0".6 west and 0".5 south of center of the apparent host galaxy. SN 2008gc is also present in images taken on Oct. 4.15 at mag approximately 17.3 ± 0.2 and Oct. 6.04 at mag approximately 17.2. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on June 30.29 (limiting mag 17.5) and July 4.28 (limiting mag 18.0).
