SUPERNOVAE 2013fv IN UGC 2789

 Further to CBET 3672, H. Kim, C. Casper, W. Zheng, W. Li, and A. V.
Filippenko, University of California at Berkeley; and S. B. Cenko, Goddard
Space Flight Center, reported the LOSS discovery of a possible supernova in
UGC 2789 on unfiltered KAIT images:

 SN       2013 UT       R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      Mag.      Offset
 2013fv   Oct. 11.43   3 36 16.05  +67 34 15.7   18.2    14".3 E, 23".1 N

A finding chart was posted by the discoverers at the following website URL:
http://astro.berkeley.edu/~zwk/findingchart/PSN_J03361605+67341567.jpg.  The
variable was designated PSN J03361605+6734157 when it was posted at the
Central Bureau's TOCP webpage and is here designated SN 2013fv based on the
spectroscopic confirmation reported below.  Additional approximate CCD
magnitudes for 2013fv:  Oct. 9.3 UT, [18.8 (KAIT); 12.3, 18.1 (KAIT); 12.868,
