PSN J00393478+0051176 = SNhunt260 in NGC 201. Object confirmed on single five minute clear exposure taken remotely with the robotic 0.43m T17 of iTelescope.net in Siding Spring, Australia. Object measured 20.5 +/- 0.5 though photometry is contaminated by galaxy. Faintness suggests extinction or possible supernova imposter. Comparison stars are from SDSS whose g and r data were used to calculate V. Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/watchingthesky/15556969201. S. Howerton
