Reichart, K. Ivarsen, J. Haislip, A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project (which is part of the Millennium Center for Supernova Science collaboration), report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 17.4) on an unfiltered image taken on Nov. 6.29 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 1' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object is located at R.A. = 6:33:40.85 ± 0".2, Decl. = -34:16:26.7 ± 0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 8".7 west and 8".9 south of center of the galaxy PGC 19254 = ESO 365-29. The variable was designated PSN J06334085-3416267 when it was posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2011hu based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional CCD magnitudes for 2011hu: 2010 Mar. 11.15, [18.5 (CHASE); 2011 Oct. 22.28, [18.0 (CHASE); Nov. 8.18, 17.2 (CHASE); 13.583, 17.8 (J.
