P. Marples, Loganholme, Queensland, Australia, reports the apparent discovery of a supernova in NGC 7083 by Stuart Parker (Oxford, Canterbury, New Zealand) on a 55-s unfiltered CCD image (0.35-m Celestron C14 F6.3 SCT and ST8 CCD camera) obtained on July 17.702 UT. C. Drescher (Calamvale, Queensland, Australia) measured the position as R.A. = 21:35:44.44, Decl. = -63:54:23.6 (equinox 2000.0, Astrometrica, USNO-B1.0 catalogue) and the magnitude as R = 14.7. The object was also present on images obtained by Parker (60-s unfiltered image on July 18.305) and by Marples (25-s unfiltered images on July 18.39 and 18.49, 0.305-m LX200 ACF), Drescher's measurements from Marples' second image giving positional end figures 44s.39, 24".0 and magnitude R = 14.6.
