SUPERNOVA 2010ln IN UGC 2685
     T. Crowley, J. Newton, and T. Puckett report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.1) on an unfiltered CCD image (limiting mag 19.2) taken with
a 0.40-m reflector at Portal, AZ, U.S.A., on Dec. 25.22 UT in the course of
the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object was confirmed at
mag 17.1 on Dec. 26.21 by Puckett with the 0.40-m reflector at Portal.  The
new object is located at R.A. = 3h20m53s.62, Decl. = +38o15'11".9 (equinox
2000.0), which is 21".6 east and 2".4 south of the center of UGC 2685.
Nothing is visible at this position on images taken by Puckett on Nov. 6
(limiting mag 19.3).
