T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 18.1) on an unfiltered CCD image taken on Sept. 30.146 UT with a 0.35-m reflector. The new object is located at R.A. = 6:55:51.00, Decl. = +40:41:46.6 (equinox 2000.0), which is approximately 2".3 east and 7".5 north of the center of MCG +7-15-2 = PGC 19876. The variable was designated as PSN J06555100+4041466 when it was posted on the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2011go based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional magnitudes for 2011go (obtained via unfiltered CCD unless noted otherwise): 1989 Nov. 9, [20.5 (Digitized Sky Survey red plate; via Boles); 1994 Jan. 9, [21.0 (Digitized Sky Survey blue plate; via Boles); 2010 Dec. 11, [19.5 (Boles); 2011 Mar. 18, [19.5 (Boles); Sept. 30.482, 18.5 (R. A. Koff, Bennett, CO, USA; Meade 0.25-m f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector + Apogee AP-47p camera; limiting magnitude 19.4; image scale 2"/pixel; position end figures 51s.03, 45".8; UCAC3 reference stars); 30.581, R = 18.4 (P. Miller, P. Roche, A. Tripp, R. Miles, R. Holmes, S. Foglia, and L. Buzzi; 2.0-m f/10 Faulkes Telescope North + Bessell R filter at Haleakala; position end figures 51s.00, 46".9).
