SUPERNOVAE 2005eb and 2005ec

           Further to IAUC 8598, N. Ponticello and W. Li report the
LOSS/KAIT discovery of an apparent supernova (designated 2005eb) on
unfiltered KAIT images taken on Sept. 7.33 (at mag 18.4) and 16.33
UT (mag 18.8) and located at R.A. = 0h54m50s.94, Decl. =
+29o14'46".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9".0 east and 2".4 south of
the center of UGC 556.  Nothing was visible at this location on a
KAIT image taken on Aug. 27.32 (limiting mag 19.5).
     Ponticello and Li also report the LOSS/KAIT discovery of
another supernova (designated 2005ec) on unfiltered KAIT images
taken on Sept. 16.54 (at mag 16.8) and 17.54 UT (mag 16.6) and
located at R.A. = 4h54m19s.17, Decl. = +1o38'27".6 (equinox
2000.0), which is 1".3 west and 2".5 north of the center of NGC
1690.  Nothing was visible at this location on a KAIT image taken
on Jan. 11.13 (limiting mag 19.0).
