SUPERNOVA 1994E IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     C. Pollas, Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur, reports his discovery
of a supernova (mpg = 19-20) located at R.A. = 11h29m20s.83, Decl.
= +55o38'08".3 (equinox 1950.0), which is 0".3 west and 3".6 south
of the center of a spiral galaxy of mpg about 18.  A nearby star
(mpg about 15.5) is at (end figures) 22s.89, 37'29".2.  SN 1994E
was detected on two technical pan films taken on Mar. 5.04 and 6.03
UT, while nothing is visible on a pair of similar films taken in
early 1992; both pairs of films reach stellar mag 22.
     A. V. Filippenko, T. Matheson, A. Dey, and H. Spinrad, University
of California at Berkeley, report that an uncalibrated CCD spectrum
(range 380-890 nm, resolution 1 nm), obtained on Mar. 13 UT with
the W. M. Keck 10-m telescope, reveals that the object is a type-Ia
supernova, roughly 2 months past maximum brightness.  A spectrum of
the parent galaxy yields a redshift of 0.06.


COMET McNAUGHT-RUSSELL (1993v)
     R. Schulz, Max-Planck-Institut fur Aeronomie; D. D. Wellnitz,
University of Maryland; and P. V. Birch, Perth Observatory, report:
"We have imaged this comet with the 0.61-m Lowell Telescope (+
University of Maryland CCD camera system) at Perth Observatory on
the six nights Mar. 9-14.  The comet clearly shows short-term
variations in brightness (the largest of which reach a factor of
1.6) in CN and C2, as well as in broad red (RG665); the light
curves in all three bands show the same pattern."


SUPERNOVA 1994D IN NGC 4526
     CCD photometry (Cousins system) by P. Heraudeau, P. Prugniel,
and J. Taupenas, using the 1.2-m telescope at Observatoire de Haute
Provence:  Mar. 11.08 UT, V = 13.48, B-V = -0.05, V-R = +0.15, V-I
= +0.04; 13.05, 12.80, -0.09, +0.27 +0.21; 14.04, 12.53, -0.04,
+0.25, +0.16.
