SUPERNOVA 2003hv IN NGC 1201

     Further to IAUC 8195, B. Beutler and W. Li report the LOTOSS
     discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 12.5) on an
     unfiltered KAIT image taken on Sept. 9.5 UT.  The new object was
     confirmed at mag about 13.0 on an earlier KAIT image taken on Sept.
     1.5.  SN 2003hv is located at R.A. = 3h04m09s.32, Decl. =
     -26o05'07".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 17".2 east and 56".7 south
     of the nucleus of NGC 1201.  A KAIT image taken on Jan. 28.2 showed
     nothing at this position (limiting mag about 18.0).
