Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 17.3) on unfiltered CCD images taken on July 19.144 UT (and confirmed on July 20.058 at mag about 17.4) with the 0.30-m Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector at the Bronberg Observatory near Pretoria. SN 2005db is located at R.A. = 0h41m26s.79, Decl. = +25o29'51".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is 16" west and 2" south of the nucleus of NGC 214. Nothing is visible at this location on Monard's images taken on July 2.159 (limiting red mag 18.5) or on the Digitized Sky Survey (limiting red mag 20.5).
