of an apparent supernova (mag 17.3) on an unfiltered KAIT image obtained
on Jan. 21.52 UT:  SN 2007N is located at R.A. = 12h49m01s.25, Decl. =
-9o27'10".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4".3 west and 14".3 north of the
center of MCG -01-33-12.  Nothing was visible at this location on a KAIT
image taken on 2006 Dec. 30.54 (limiting mag 19.0).
