SUPERNOVA 2002I IN IC 4229

D. Weisz and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report the LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) discovery of another apparent supernova (mag about 17.3) on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Jan. 19.5 and 20.5 UT. SN 2002I is located at R.A. = 13h22m26s.84, Decl. = -2 25'04".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 11".1 east and 2".6 north of the nucleus of IC 4229. A KAIT image taken on 2001 June 16.3 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
