Further to CBET 1090, X. Parisky and W. Li report the discovery of an
apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Sept. 28.44 (at mag
18.3) and Oct. 6.47 UT (mag 17.6).  The new object is located at R.A. =
3h42m23s.26, Decl. = +39o14'30".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 8".7 west and

showed nothing at this location (limiting mag 19.3).  The type-Ia supernova
