SUPERNOVA 2004en IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     T. Boles, Coddenham, Suffolk, England, reports the discovery of an
apparent supernova of mag 18.2 on unfiltered CCD images taken on Sept. 16.054
and 16.966 UT (limiting mag 20.5) with a 0.35-m reflector.  The new object is
located at R.A. = 2h36m26s.53, Decl. = +35o59'25".5, which is approximately
8".9 east and 1".0 north of the center of its host galaxy.  The suspect is not
present on Boles' images from 2003 Dec. 28 and Nov. 27 (limiting mag 19.5), and
it is not present on DSS II red (1986.907, limiting mag 21.0) or blue plates
(1987.752, limiting mag 20.5).
