S. Howerton, Arkansas City, KS, U.S.A.; A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal, M. J. Graham, and R. Williams, California Institute of Technology; J. L. Prieto, Carnegie Observatories; M. Catelan, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; E. C. Beshore and S. M. Larson, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona; and E. Christensen, Gemini Observatory, report the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey's discovery of an apparent supernova in public images from the Mount Lemmon Survey.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------— SN 2011 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset ---------------------------------------------------------------------------— 2011bz Apr. 24.34 14 04 43.75 - 9 43 04.7 17.4 19" E, 26" S ---------------------------------------------------------------------------—

Note that Drake has revised the position from that used to automatically assign the provisional designation (PSN J14044453-0943160) that was given when this presumed supernova was posted on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage; it is here designated SN 2011bz based on the spectroscopic report below. Additional unfiltered CCD magnitudes for 2011bz: Mar. 13.44 UT, [19.0 (Catalina Sky Survey; via Drake); Apr. 26.240, 17.5 (J. Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia; remotely using a 51-cm RCOS telescope _ STL11K camera at the New Mexico Skies Observatory near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A.; position end figures 43s.60, 02".7); 26.661, 17.4 (Brimacombe; remotely using a 40-cm RCOS telescope + STL6K camera at the Macedon Ranges Observatory, Melbourne, Australia; position end figures 43s.62, 03".0).
