SUPERNOVA 2002hv IN UGC 4974

Two more apparent supernovae have been reported on unfiltered CCD images: SN 2002hu in MCG +06-6-12 by T. Boles (cf. IAUC 8011); and 2002hv in UGC 4974 by LOTOSS with the 0.8-m Tenagra II automated telescope, via M. Schwartz and W. Li (cf. IAUC 7906). SN 2002 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag. Offset 2002hu Nov. 7.09 2 18 20.06 +37 27 58.8 17.0 20".6 E, 6".6 N 2002hv 5.5 9 22 10.91 +33 50 10.8 18.6 7".1 E, 43".2 S Boles obtained a confirming image of SN 2002hu on Nov. 7.815 UT; it was not present on Boles' images from Oct. 4 (limiting mag 18.5) or Sept. 8, and it is not present on Palomar Sky Survey red and blue plates. Schwartz obtained a confirming image of SN 2002hv on Nov. 7.5, while an unfiltered KAIT CCD image taken at Lick Observatory on Apr. 28.2 showed nothing at that position (limiting mag about 19.0).
