Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.7 +/- 0.2) on unfiltered CCD exposures taken at his Bronberg Observatory on Apr. 23.101 and 24.120 UT. The new object is located at R.A. = 20h26m52s.69, Decl. = -18o37'04".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9" east and 2" south of the galaxy core of NGC 6912; 2009dp lies at the eastern end of the galaxy bar. Nothing is visible at this position on Digitized Sky Survey images (limiting red mag 20.5) or on his own image taken on Apr. 2.102 (limiting mag 18.5).
