Circular No. 3702 Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams INTERNATIONAL ASTRONOMICAL UNION Postal Address: Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. TWX 710-320-6842 ASTROGRAM CAM Telephone 617-864-5758 SUPERNOVA IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY J. Maza, Department of Astronomy, University of Chile, telexes that L. E. Gonzalez has discovered a supernova in a faint, anonymous spiral galaxy at R. A. 22h56m.2, Decl. -40o53' (equinox. 1950.0). The object is 7" east and 5" north of the galaxy's nucleus and on May 30 was of photographic magnitude 18. 1982 HR The following ephemeris continuation is from improved orbital elements given on MPC 6952 (1982 June 6). The magnitudes have been adjusted in light of recent observations. 1982 ET R. A. (1950) Decl. Delta r Mag.
