     D. Rich, Hampden, ME, reports his discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag about 17.6) on unfiltered CCD frames taken with a
0.31-m reflector on 2004 Dec. 30.96 and 2005 Jan. 1.93 UT.
SN 2004gx is located at R.A. = 23h33m30s.80, Decl. = +24o01'07".0
(equinox 2000.0), which is about 7".0 west and 5".4 south of the
center of UGC 12663.  Nothing is visible at this location on
Palomar Sky Survey plates (limiting red mag 20.1, limiting blue mag
19.7) or on CCD frame taken by Rich on 2004 Oct. 21.01 and Nov. 20.07
(limiting mag about 18.6).
