T. Orff reports the discovery by J. Newton and T. Puckett of an apparent supernova (mag 17.2) on unfiltered CCD images (limiting mag 19.9) taken with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, GA, U.S.A., on Mar. 19.27 UT in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search. The new object, which was confirmed at mag 17.1 on images (limiting mag 19.7) taken by Orff on Mar. 20.17 with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, is located at R.A. = 12:04:59.47, Decl. = +76:07:52.3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 29".5 west and 7".5 south of the center of MCG +13-09-10. Nothing is visible at this position on images taken by Puckett on 2009 Dec. 29 (limiting mag 18.9).
