SUPERNOVA IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     C. Torres, Department of Astronomy, University of Chile, telexes
that M. Wischnjewsky has discovered a supernova in a faint,
anonymous galaxy at R. A. 20h23m.3, Decl. -46o19' (1950.0). The
object is 10" east and 10" north of the galaxy's nucleus and on
June 21 was of photographic magnitude 18.5.


WY SAGITTAE
     H. E. Bond, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana
State University, writes that M. Shara, A. F. J. Moffat, J. McGraw,
D. S. Dearborn, he and E. Kemper have found that Weaver's (1951, Ap.
J. 113, 320) 19th-mag candidate for WY Sge, the remnant of Nova Sge
1783, is an eclipsing binary with a period of 3h41m.  The times of
minima are given by HJD 2445137.8993 + 0.1536342 E, on the basis of
five eclipse timings made with the Multiple-Mirror, Mont Megantic
1.6-m and Louisiana State University 0.9-m telescopes.
