SUPERNOVAE
     B. E. Schaefer, Yale University, on behalf of the QUEST
collaboration (see Schaefer et al. 1999, Ap.J. 524, L103), reports
on 22 apparent supernovae discovered with the QUEST 16-CCD array
camera on the Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia 1-m Schmidt
telescope at Llano del Hato, Venezuela.  The total area searched
was 264 deg**2 between Mar. 1 and 15 to R = 20.8, with each clear
night receiving independent drift scans through B, V, and R filters,
so that the 22 objects all have well-sampled 3-color light curves
over roughly two weeks.  Each apparent supernova was found by
subtraction of QUEST reference images taken on five nights between
Feb. 8 and 14 and each new object has been confirmed via images
taken on four or more nights in March.  Five of the objects have
no apparent host galaxy, to R about 21.5.  SNe 2000al and 2000aq
peaked at R = 20.0 about Mar. 15; SN 2000am peaked at R = 19.6
around Mar. 14.
