SUPERNOVA 2002hw IN UGC 52 

	 M. Schwartz and W. Li report the LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7906)
	 discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken with
	 the 0.8-m Tenagra II automated telescope on Nov. 9.2 (mag about
	 16.8) and 10.2 UT (mag about 16.6).  SN 2002hw is located at R.A. =
	 0h06m49s.06, Decl. = +8 37'48".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 6".7
	 west and 6".0 north of the nucleus of UGC 52.  A KAIT image from
	 Nov. 2.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
