SUPERNOVA 1999dh IN IC 211

Modjaz and Li also report the discovery (as above) of an apparent supernova in IC 211. SN 1999dh was discovered on unfiltered images taken on July 23.5 UT (mag about 15.4) and confirmed on images taken on July 24.5 (mag about 15.6). The new object is located at R.A. = 2h11m06s.07, Decl. = +3 51'06".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 29".0 west and 1".7 south of the nucleus of IC 211. A KAIT image of the same field on Feb. 4.2 (limiting mag about 19.0) showed nothing at the position of SN 1999dh.
