SUPERNOVA 2004bh IN UGC 5161
     Further to IAUC 8317, M. Armstrong reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova on unfiltered CCD images taken on Apr. 6.906
(poor image), 9.963 (mag about 16.9), and 11.063 UT (mag about
17.0) with a 0.35-m reflector.  SN 2004bh is located at R.A. =
9h40m56s.47, Decl. = +27o46'46".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is
approximately 1".3 west and 6" north of the center of UGC 5161.
Nothing was visible at this position on Armstrong's images taken on
2003 Nov. 12 (limiting mag 18.0), and 2004 Feb. 26 (limiting mag
18.5), or on Palomar Sky survey red and blue plates.  M. Mobberley,
Cockfield, U.K., also obtained an unfiltered CCD image of SN 2004bh
at mag 17 on Apr. 10.873 (position end figures 56s.40, 47".5).
