LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 15.9 ± 0.3) on an unfiltered image taken on Feb. 22.06 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 3' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object, which is also present at mag approximately 15.6 ± 0.3 in an image taken on Feb. 23.01, is located at R.A. = 7:15:54.65 ± 0".1, Decl. = -57:20:36.9 ± 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 0".6 east and 0".2 south of the center of the galaxy ESO 162-17. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Feb. 10.11 and 17.11 (limiting mag 18.0).
