SUPERNOVAE 2006dj, 2006dk, 2006dl

Three additional supernovae have been discovered on unfiltered
CCD images:  2006dj and 2006dl by M. Baek and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf.
IAUC 8725), and 2006dk by M. Migliardi (communicated by A. Dimai;
cf. IAUC 7373).

Additional KAIT magnitudes for 2006dj in UGC 12287:  2000 Oct. 7.24
UT, [20.0; 2006 June 25.46, 18.9; 26.43, 18.9.  Additional CROSS
magnitudes for 2006dk in NGC 4161:  Jan. 30, [18.5; June 26.87,
16.2.  Nothing appears at the location of 2006dk on Palomar Sky
Survey infrared, red, and blue plates.  A spectrogram obtained on
June 26.92 shows that SN 2006dk is a type-II supernova close to the
time of explosion (details on CBET 565).  Additional magnitudes for
2006dl in MCG +04-31-5:  June 19.26, [19.5; 30.23, 18.0.
