SUPERNOVA 2002jm IN IC 603  

     Further to IAUC 8026, M. Ganeshalingam and W. Li report the
     discovery by LOTOSS of an apparent supernova (mag about 17.5) on an
     unfiltered KAIT image taken on Dec. 7.5 UT, confirmed at about the
     same brightness by M. Schwartz with the 0.8-m Tenagra II telescope
     on Dec. 9.5.  SN 2002jm is located at R.A. = 10h19m25s.20, Decl. =
     -5 39'14".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".6 east and 7".3 north of
     the center of IC 603.  A KAIT image taken on Nov. 23.5 showed
     nothing at this position (limiting mag about 18.5).
