SUPERNOVAE 2006D, 2006E, 2006F, 2006G, 2006H

Two apparent supernova have been reported from unfiltered CCD
exposures:  2006G by M. Baek and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8658),
and 2006H by T. Puckett and G. Sostero (0.60-m automated supernova
patrol telescope; cf. IAUC 8658).

SN      2006 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2006G   Jan. 13.15   1 24 35.83  + 1 43 15.8  17.5  32".4 E, 38".3 S
2006H   Jan. 15.05   3 26 01.49  +40 41 42.5  17.0  4".7 E, 2".2 N

Additional magnitudes of 2006G in NGC 521:  2005 Nov. 22.21 UT,
[19.5; Dec. 14.20, [18.0; 2006 Jan. 13.22, 17.5; 14.12, 17.3.
Additional approximate unfiltered CCD magnitudes of 2006H, whose
offsets above are with respect to the center of a galaxy that
itself is near UGC 2730:  2005 Sept. 23, [19.0 (Puckett); 2006 Jan.
15.77, 16.9 (G. Sostero and S. Garzia on multiple frames taken with
a 0.25-m reflector).  Note that the R.A. offset for 2006H corrects
that on CBET 367.  Supernovae 2006D and 2006E (cf. IAUC 8658) are
type-Ia events (cf. CBET 366), while 2006F (cf. IAUC 8658) is a
type-Ib supernova and 2006G is a type-II supernova (cf. CBET 368).
