SUPERNOVA 2004bh IN UGC 5161
     Further to IAUC 8317, M. Armstrong reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag about 16.9) on unfiltered CCD images taken
on Apr. 6.906, 9.963, and 11.063 UT with a 0.35-m reflector.  SN
2004bh is located at R.A. = 9h40m56s.47, Decl. = +27o46'46".6 (equinox
2000.0), which is approximately 1".3 west and 6" north of the center
of UGC 5161.  Nothing was visible at this position on Armstrong's
images taken on 2003 Feb. 6, Nov. 12, and 2004 Feb. 26, or on Palomar
Sky survey red and blue plates.  M. Mobberley, Cockfield, U.K., also
obtained an unfiltered CCD image of SN 2004bh on Apr. 10.873.
