SUPERNOVA 2010iz IN UGC 3552

Further to CBET 2498, J. K. Kodros, W. Li, S. B. Cenko, and A. V.
Filippenko report the LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered
KAIT images:

 SN       2010 UT       R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      Mag.      Offset
 2010iz   Oct. 16.55   6 49 50.94  +28 22 22.1   17.2    5".2 E, 5".9 N

Nothing was visible at this position on a KAIT image from Mar. 22.18 UT
(limiting mag 19.0).  Following posting on the Central Bureau's unconfirmed-
objects webpage, Markku Nissinen and Veli-Pekka Hentunen, Varkaus, Finland,
write that they remotely used a 43-cm f/6.8 Global-Rent-a-Scope (GRAS) located
near Nerpio, Spain, to obtain images (limiting mag 21.0) of 2010iz to derive
position end figures 50s.93, 21".8 and magnitude V = 16.8 on Oct. 20.126.
