SUPERNOVA 2005cy IN UGC 11241
     Further to IAUC 8534, A. Sehgal, J. Newton, and T. Puckett
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.9) on an
unfiltered CCD frame taken with the 0.50-m Sehgal telescope
(Osoyoos, BC) on July 15.27 UT in the course of the Puckett
Observatory Supernova Search.  SN 2005cy is located at R.A. =
18h26m49s.11, Decl. = +51o08'30".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 7".0
west and 9".8 north of UGC 11241.  (The galaxy center is at position
end figures 49s.85, 20".6.)  The new object was confirmed on
multiple combined CCD frames taken by D. George (Ottawa, Canada)
with a 0.35-m reflector on July 16.17 (the new object at mag 18.0).
Nothing is visible on images taken by Puckett on 2002 July 12 and
2004 Aug. 10 (limiting mag about 20.0).
