SUPERNOVA 2004dn IN UGC 2069

     Further to IAUC 8377, J. Graham and W. Li report the LOSS
     discovery of an apparent supernova on an unfiltered KAIT image
     taken on Aug. 2.48 UT (mag about 17.5).  The new object was
     confirmed on an earlier image taken on July 29.42 (mag about 18.5).
     SN 2004dn is located at R.A. = 2h35m37s.30, Decl. = +37o37'54".2
     (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".5 west and 26".1 south of the nucleus
     of UGC 2069.  A KAIT image taken on Jan. 23.21 showed nothing at
     this position (limiting mag about 19.5).  SN 1961P was located 36"
     south of the galaxy's nucleus.
