SUPERNOVA 2002hz IN UGC 12404 

	 M. Ganeshalingam and W. Li, University of California at
	 Berkeley, report the LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7906) discovery of an
	 apparent supernova on an unfiltered KAIT image taken on Nov. 16.2
	 UT (mag about 17.8).  The new object was confirmed on an earlier
	 image taken on Nov. 12.2 (mag about 18.4).  SN 2002hz is located at
	 R.A. = 22h27m49s.54, Decl. = +38o35'09".5 (equinox 2000.0), which
	 is 13".9 east and 2".6 south of the nucleus of UGC 12044.  A KAIT
	 image taken on Nov. 2.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting
	 mag about 19.0).
