SUPERNOVA 2005ag

Further to IAUC 8478, W. Li reports the LOSS discovery of a
supernova (mag 18.2) on a KAIT CCD image taken on Feb. 10.55 UT; SN
2005ag is located at R.A. = 14h56m43s.65, Decl. = +9o19'42".5
(equinox 2000.0), which is 6".5 east and 5".9 north of the center
of the apparent host galaxy.  Filippenko and Foley add that
inspection of noisy CCD spectra, obtained as above, shows that
2005ag is a supernova of type Ia, probably within a week of maximum
brightness; the redshift of the host galaxy was not measured.

Host galaxy info: 0.28 x 0.22, 18.05
