T. Kryachko and B. Satovskiy, Astrotel Observatory, Kazan State University, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 19.7) on unfiltered images (limiting mag 21.5) taken on Nov. 21.65 and 22.70 UT with a 30-cm Takahashi FRC-300 telescope (+ Apogee Alta U9000 CCD camera) at Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia. The new object is located at R.A. = 1:30:54.49 ± 0".1, Decl. = +18:36:39.9 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 4".5 west and 3".5 north of the center of the apparent host galaxy (position end figures 54s.79, 36".4). Nothing is visible at this position on a Palomar Sky Survey plate obtained on 1987 Aug. 26, via the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) (limiting blue mag 21.5).
