SUPERNOVA 2005dy IN UGC 3042
     A. Sehgal, J. Newton, and T. Puckett report their discovery
of an apparent supernova (mag 19.0) on unfiltered CCD images taken
on Sept. 7.36 UT with the 0.50-m Sehgal telescope (Osoyoos, BC) in
the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search (cf. IAUC 8580).
SN 2005dy is located at R.A. = 4h28m38s.72, Decl. = +70o20'49".0
(equinox 2000.0), which is 5".0 west and 1".3 south of the center of
UGC 3042.  Nothing is visible at this location on images taken by
Puckett on July 27, 29, and Aug. 29 (limiting mag 20.5).  A confirming
image taken by Puckett on Sept. 11.35 showed the new object at mag 18.7.
