SUPERNOVA 1995Y IN NGC 410
     J. Mueller reports her discovery of an apparent supernova (mag
about 18) located 7" east and 25" south of the center of NGC 410
(R.A. = 1h11m.0, Decl. = +33o09', equinox 2000.0); the IV-N
discovery plate was taken on Aug. 28 UT by J. D. Mendenhall and
Mueller with the 1.2-m Oschin Schmidt Telescope in the course of
the second Palomar Sky Survey.  M. Schmidt, D. Schneider, and R.
Lucinio obtained a spectrogram of SN 1995Y with the 5-m Hale
Telescope (+ 4-shooter + spectrograph) on Aug. 31, and this
indicates that the supernova is of type-I and is probably several
months past maximum.


SUPERNOVA 1995Z IN UGC 937
     Mueller also reports her discovery of an apparent supernova
(mag about 18.5) located 11" east and 5" north of the center of UGC
937 (R.A. = 1h23m.6, Decl. = +32o39', equinox 2000.0); the IV-N
discovery plate was taken on Aug. 28 UT by J. D. Mendenhall and
Mueller with the 1.2-m Oschin Schmidt Telescope in the course of
the second Palomar Sky Survey.  N. Reid notes that no object was
present at this position on a IV-N Survey plate taken on 1989 Dec.
4 by C. Brewer and Mendenhall.  Schmidt and Schneider obtained a
spectrogram (as above) of SN 1995Z on Sept. 1, and this shows
strong H-alpha emission that, when coupled with Reid's observation,
suggests a type-II supernova.


NOVA CASSIOPEIAE 1995
     C. E. Woodward, D. Harker, and J. Smilowitz, University of
Wyoming; and R. Rudy and R. Kellogg, The Aerospace Corporation,
report the following near-infrared magnitudes (with 1-sigma errors
of 0.09 mag) for N Cas 1995, obtained on Aug. 29.3 UT using the
2.31-m telescope of the Wyoming Infrared Observatory (+ Aerospace
near-infrared camera + NICMOS3 array):  J = 7.89; H = 7.65; [2.00-
2.32 microns] = 7.49.


COMET 41P/TUTTLE-GIACOBINI-KRESAK
     Total visual magnitude estimates (cf. IAUC 6210):  Aug. 25.16
UT, 9.0 (C. S. Morris, Pine Mountain Club, CA, 0.26-m reflector);
26.86, 9.3 (J. Carvajal, Avila, Spain, 0.44-m reflector); 31.16,
10.0: (Morris).


1995 September 1               (6221)            Daniel W. E. Green
