F. Ciabattari, E. Mazzoni and S. Donati report the discovery of an apparent supernova (unfiltered magnitude = 18.4) on images (limiting magnitude 19.5) obtained on August 02.08 and August 03.04 with a 0.5m Newtonian telescope + CCD FLI Proline 4710 camera at Borgo a Mozzano - Italy, in the course of the Italian Supernovae Search Project. The new object is located at A.R. = 02h14m17s.05, Decl. = +07°35'11".8 (equinox 2000.0, astrometry with respect to UCAC-2 stars) which is 4 arcsec West and 6 arcsec South of the centre of Galaxy UGC 1723.

L. Elenin (Lyubertsy, Russia) and I. Molotov (Moscow, Russia) confirm an apparent supernova PSN J02141705+0735118 in UGC 1723. Object visible on 2x150sec images remotely taken at ISON-NM Observatory (Mayhill, NM, USA) with 0.45-m f/2.8 telescope + CCD (KAF09000) on Aug. 03.4176, 2013. Object located at 02h 14m 17s.03 +/- 0".13, +07d 35' 12".3 +/- 0".13 (UCAC-4) with magnitude 17.4U (mag. limit ~19.6m). Nothing is visible at this position on the POSS and POSSII images.
