Giancarlo Cortini, Predappio, Italy, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 16.1) on unfiltered CCD images taken on Jan. 25.79 UT with a Celestron 14 telescope (+ SXVRH9 camera). The new object is located at R.A. = 19:47:10.32, Decl. = +59:54:59.9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 18" east and 36" north of the center of NGC 6829. Nothing is visible at this position on Palomar Sky Survey red and blue plates (no limiting magnitudes provided). The variable was designated PSN J19471032+5954599 when it was posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2012V based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional CCD magnitudes for 2012V (unfiltered unless noted otherwise): Jan. 12.75, [18.5 (Cortini); 17.70, [18.5 (Cortini); 25.995, R = 15.5 (Xing Gao, Urumqi, China; Xingming 0.36-m reflector, Mt. Nanshan; position end figures 10s.28, 59".9; image posted at URL http://www.flickr.com/photos/75232843@N06/6764372619/in/photostream); 26.098, 16.0 (Joseph Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia; remotely using a 51-cm RCOS telescope + STL11K camera + luminance filter at the New Mexico Skies Observatory near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A.; position end figures 10s.31, 59".5; image posted at URL http://www.flickr.com/photos/43846774@N02/6765075879/); 26.504, 15.4 (R.
