SUPERNOVAE 2006jc, 2006jd, 2006je

Three apparent supernovae have been found on unfiltered CCD
images:  2006jc independently by K. Itagaki (Teppo-cho, Yamagata,
Japan; 0.60-m f/5.7 reflector; communicated by S. Nakano, Sumoto,
Japan; tabulated data below from Itagaki; additional details on
CBET 666) and by T. Puckett and R. Gorelli (0.35-m reflector at
Ellijay, GA; cf. IAUC 8758); and 2006jd and 2006je by R. R. Prasad
and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8758).
