L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (magnitude approximately 17.7) on several unfiltered CCD images taken on July 7.163 UT at the Bronberg Observatory. The new object, which was confirmed at mag approximately 17.1 on July 9.152, is located at R.A. = 5:24:52.46, Decl. = -46:46:37.1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9" east and 9" north of the core of the presumed host galaxy. Nothing is visible at this position on Digitized Sky Survey images (limiting red mag 20.5) or on Monard's image of this galaxy taken on 2010 Apr. 22.719 (limiting mag 18.5) or on earlier Monard images.
