Pollas, CERGA, reports his discovery of a supernova 10" west and 6" north of the center of a galaxy at R.A. = 3h17m5, Decl. = +1deg11' (equinox 1950.0) on 0.9-m Schmidt exposures with A. Robin and J. Ciffreo. His magnitude estimates, using the Priser sequence in SA 94, are: Sept. 26.14 UT, B = 18, Oct. 30.03, V ~ 17. COMET SHOEMAKER (1984r) Further precise positions obtained by J.
