SUPERNOVAE 2006dp, 2006dq, 2006dr

Three additional supernovae have been discovered on unfiltered
CCD images:  2006dp and 2006dr by L. A. G. Monard (cf. IAUC 8726),
and 2006dq by J. Schwehr and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8728).

Additional red magnitudes from Monard for 2006dp in MCG -01-3-56:
2005 Dec. 30.775 UT, [19.0; 2006 June 6.161, [18.2; July 11.164,
18.5 +/- 0.5; 12.156, 18.3 +/- 0.3.  Nothing is visible at the
location of 2006dp on a red image of the Digitized Sky Survey
(limiting mag 20.5).  SN 2006dp is a type-II supernova
(spectroscopic details on CBET 575).  Additional KAIT magnitudes
for 2006dq in UGC 11089:  June 17.40, [19.5; July 11.35, 18.3.  SN
2006dq is a type-II supernova, roughly 3 weeks past explosion on
July 18 (details on CBET 579).  Additional red magnitudes for
2006dr in NGC 1288:  July 4.139, [18.5; July 18.075, 16.1.  Nothing
is visible at the location of 2006dr on the Digitized Sky Survey
(limiting red mag 20.5).
