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 ESO 185-54 (mag approximately 14.5) on a unfiltered image taken on June 27.38 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 1' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object is located at R.A. = 20:03:24.84 ± 0".2, Decl. = -55:57:19.2 ± 0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 18".2 west and 29".3 south of center of the galaxy ESO 185-54. Nothing is visible at this position in a stack of nine 40-s archival images taken between Mar. 26.38 and May 24.39 (limiting mag 20.0). The variable was designated PSN J20032484-5557192 when it was posted at the Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2012fz based on the spectroscopic confirmation reported below. Additional CCD magnitudes for 2012fz: June 5.25, [18.0 (CHASE); July 1.622, 15.9 (Joseph Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia; infrared filter; wavelength > 700 nm; position end figures 24s.84, 19".1; image posted at URL
