SUPERNOVA 2003fd IN UGC 8670
     An apparent supernova in UGC 8670 has been found via
unfiltered CCDs independently by M. Papenkova and W. Li from
LOTOSS/KAIT images (cf. IAUC 8143) and by T. Puckett and D. Ireland
from Puckett Observatory 0.36-m reflector images (cf. IAUC 8117).
The KAIT position for the new object is R.A. = 13h41m43s.70, Decl.
= +40o52'38".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 16".2 east and 9".4 north
of the nucleus of UGC 8670.  Puckett provides position end figures
43s.76, 37".2 for SN 2003fd.  Available approximate magnitudes:
Apr. 20, [20.0 (Puckett); May 28.2 UT, [19.5 (KAIT); June 9.2, 17.8
(KAIT); 10.175, 17.4 (Puckett); 10.2, 17.8 (KAIT).

     P. Astier, Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire et de Hautes
Energies, Universite Paris VI; and C. Pritchet, University of
Victoria; on behalf of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT)
Legacy Survey Supernova Project (including E. Aubourg, D. Balam, R.
Carlberg, D. Hardin, D. Guide, S. Fabbro, H. Lafoux, T. Merrall, R.
Pain, K. Perrett, J. Rich, K. Schahmaneche, P. Antilogus, E.
Lesquoy, and G. Sainton), report the discovery of several apparent
supernovae found on CCD images taken with the newly commissioned
MegaPrime instrument during the CFHT Legacy Survey engineering
pre-survey.  The tabulated magnitudes below are in the i' band.
None of the new objects were present in reference images (limiting
mag about 24.5; S/N = 5 for 2" aperture) taken on 2003 Mar. 3 (SNe
2003fe, 2003ff, 2003fg, 2003fh) and 23 (SNe 2003fi, 2003fj, 2003fk).
