SUPERNOVA 1994L IN NGC 2848
     On Apr. 13, Nicholas J. Brown, Clarkson, Western Australia,
reported an apparent supernova in NGC 2848 (R.A. = 9h17m.9, Decl. =
-16o19', equinox 1950.0) that he had discovered visually on Apr. 8.7
UT at mv = 14.7; he stated that the object was located about 30"
southwest of the galaxy's center.  In response to requests for
confirmation by the Central Bureau, L. Pasquini, European Southern
Observatory; and M. Osterloh, Max-Planck-Institut fur Astronomie,
Heidelberg, report:  "On Apr. 13.99 UT, we obtained a low-resolution
 spectrogram (range 370-800 nm, resolution 2 nm) of the supernova
candidate in NGC 2848 using the 2.2-m MPI/ESO telescope (+ EFOSC
II).  The spectrum shows broad Balmer lines with prominent P-Cyg
profiles overimposed on a blue continuum.  Adopting a redshift
velocity of 1795 km/s for the host galaxy, absorption minima are
measured at 635, 473, 421, and 382 nm.  Additional strong emission
lines are also detected at 459 and 496 nm.  The object thus appears
to be a type-II supernova a few weeks after maximum light."
