SUPERNOVAE 2003gi AND 2003gj

     Additional apparent supernovae found on unfiltered CCD images
     have been reported by L. A. G. Monard (SN 2003gi; cf. IAUC 8159)
     and by M. Moore and W. Li (SN 2003gj; LOTOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8158):

     SN      2003 UT       R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.   Mag.     Offset
     2003gi  May 17.108   0 38 32.67  -24 20 33.5  15.6  1" E, 9" S

     Additional approximate magnitudes from the respective observers:
     SN 2003gi in IC 1561, Apr. 29.134 UT, [18.0; July 1.103, 16.2.
     SN 2003gj in NGC 7017, June 3.4, [18.5; July 1.4, 17.6.  Nothing is
     present at the location of SN 2003gi on the Digitized Sky Survey
     (limiting red mag 19).  The offset for SN 2003gj is with respect to
     the western component of the interacting galaxy pair NGC 7017.
