SUPERNOVA 2005eu
     Further to IAUC 8608, W. Li reports the LOSS discovery of an
apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Oct. 4.37
(at mag 17.9) and 5.36 UT (mag 17.6).  SN 2005eu is located at
R.A. = 2h27m43s.26, Decl. = +28o10'36".6 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 0".9 west and 0".8 south of the nucleus of the a very tiny,
faint galaxy that itself is near IC 226.  A KAIT image taken on
Sept. 15.35 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.5).
