SUPERNOVA 2004dv IN MCG -01-6-12

     Further to IAUC 8387, M. Ganeshalingam and W. Li report the
     LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 18.5) on an
     unfiltered KAIT image taken on Aug. 13.49 UT.  The new object was
     also marginally detected on earlier images taken on July 21.49,
     27.45, and Aug. 8.44 (all with limiting mag about 18.5-19.0).  SN
     2004dv is located at R.A. = 1h58m52s.76, Decl. = -8o10'11".5
     (equinox 2000.0), which is 12".5 east and 17".5 south of the
     nucleus of MCG -01-6-12.  A KAIT image taken on 2003 Sept. 11.36
     showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 20.0).
