SUPERNOVAE 2006fo-2006gh

Two apparent supernovae have been reported following discovery
on unfiltered CCD images:  2006fp by T. Puckett and R. Gagliano (cf.
IAUC 8741); and 2006gc by R. Mostardi and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf.
IAUC 8744).  Also, an additional 18 supernovae (2006fo, 2006fq-
2006gb, and 2006gd-2006gh -- most being fainter than magnitude g =
20) have been reported by J. Frieman on behalf of the Sloan Digital
Sky Survey II collaboration, with details published on CBETs 624,
627, and 629; the brightest, 2006fo (a type-Ia supernova
approximately 1 week past maximum), is included below.
