SUPERNOVA 2005dv IN NGC 5283
     A. Dimai, Cortina, Italy, reports the discovery by P.
Dainese (Marghera, Italy) and himself of an apparent supernova
discovered in unfiltered CCD images taken in the course of the
CROSS program (cf. IAUC 7373) on Sept. 4.83 (at mag 15.0)
and 6.79 UT (mag about 14.8).  The new object is located at R.A.
= 13h41m04s.45, Decl. = +67o40'20".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is
8" west of the nucleus of NGC 5283.  CROSS images taken on
June 27 (limiting mag about 19.0) and Aug. 5 (limiting mag
about 18.5) and Palomar Sky Survey red, blue, and infrared
images showed nothing at this position.
