SUPERNOVAE 2003dg IN UGC 6934

     Further to IAUC 8101, H. Pugh and W. Li report the LOTOSS
     discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images on
     Apr. 8.4 (mag about 19.3) and 9.4 UT (mag about 19.1).  The new
     object is located at R.A. = 11h57m31s.97, Decl. = -1 15'13".6
     (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".7 east and 3".1 south of the nucleus
     of UGC 6934.  A KAIT image taken on Mar. 24.4 showed nothing at
     this position (limiting mag about 20.0).

Host galaxy info: Vel = 5536 km/s, 1.85 x 0.24, 14.99, SA(r)cd: sp
