SUPERNOVA 2003bu IN NGC 5393

     Further to IAUC 8091, H. Pugh and W. Li report the LOTOSS
     discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken
     on Mar. 11.5 (mag about 17.5) and 12.5 UT (mag about 17.2).  SN
     2003bu is located at R.A. = 14h00m31s.45, Decl. = -28o52'32".7
     (equinox 2000.0), which is 7".3 west and 3".7 south of the nucleus
     of NGC 5393.  A KAIT image taken on Feb. 10.5 showed nothing at
     this position (limiting mag about 18.0).
