SUPERNOVAE 2003E, 2003F, 2003G, 2003H

   Discoveries of three supernovae have been found on unfiltered
CCD images and reported to the Central Bureau.  All three objects
were found by J. Graham and W. Li (via LOTOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 7906);
SN 2003F was found independently by T. Puckett, Mountain Town, GA,
with D. Toth (Lima, OH) via the Puckett Observatory 0.50-m
MassImaging reflector (confirmed Jan. 9.13; Puckett's data for SN
2003F tabulated below).

SN      2003 UT       R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.   Mag.      Offset
2003F   Jan. 8.16    5 11 32.99  +17 03 28.4  16.7   7".3 E, 6".1 N
2003G   Jan. 8.2     2 08 28.13  + 6 23 51.9  16.2   6".0 E, 9".8 N
2003H   Jan. 8.3     6 16 25.68  -21 22 23.8  17.8   31".9 W, 9".6 N

The offsets of SN 2003H are relative to the eastern component of
the interacting galaxy pair.  Li provides position end figures
33s.03, 28".4 for SN 2003F.  Additional magnitudes [sources:  'K' =
KAIT; 'S' = Palomar Sky Survey; 'P' = Puckett; 'Q' = Y. L. Qiu,
Beijing Astronomical Observatory (via Li)]:  SN 2003F in UGC 3261,
