SUPERNOVA 2000dc ESO 527-G019

C. Yu and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (cf. IAUC 6627, 7126), report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on Aug. 9.3 UT (mag about 16.9) and Aug. 10.3 (mag about 16.5). The new object is located at R.A. = 20h20m45s.47, Decl. = -24o07'57".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3".5 west and 16".0 south of the nucleus of ESO 527-G019. A KAIT image of the same field on Aug. 2.3 showed nothing at the position of SN 2000dc (limiting mag about 19.0).
