V. Nevski, E. Romas and I. Molotov report the discovery of an apparent supernova/nova (mag approximately 17.0) on three unfiltered images with exposure 100 sec (lim mag 20.5) taken on Mart 02.83 UT with the 0.4-m reflector + CCD at ISON-Kislovodsk observatory (Russia, MPCCOD: D00). The new object is located at R.A. 10h52m41s.26, Decl. +36d40'08".6 (UCAC-3 catalogue), which is about 153" east and 180" nouth of the center of the galaxy NGC 3432. Nothing is visible at this position on our images obtained on 2013-02-02 (limiting mag 20.5). In MPChecker there is no asteroids. The image is available https://docs.google.com/a/tut.by/file/d/0B7rNSNqMFOd8cW1lc1l2MTdpaWc/edit?usp=sharing Position is close to the supernova SN2000ch, possibly cataclysmic variable? http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=%401763943&Name=SN%202000ch&submit=submit

L. Elenin (Lyubertsy, Russia) and I. Molotov (Moscow, Russia) confirm what object PSN J10524126+3640086 is visible on 3x300sec images remotely taken at ISON-NM Observatory (Mayhill, NM, USA) with 0.45-m f/2.8 telescope + CCD (KAF09000) on Mar. 03.2786 2013. Object located at 10h 52m 41s.38 +/- 0".09, +36d 40' 09".6 +/- 0".08 (UCAC-4) with magnitude 17.6U (mag. limit ~20.7m). Object is also visible on POSSIIUKSTU_Red plate (Epoch 1998-05-16).

Masakatsu Aoki, Tsukioka, Toyama, reports his discovery of an possible supernova (mag 17.8) on images (lim mag 19.5) with the 0.5-m f/5.6 Ritchey-Chretien + unfiltered CCD. He writes nothing is visible at this location on his past frames taken on 2014 Apr. 9 UT, Mar. 28UT, Mar. 16UT, and Mar. 04UT. PSN was confirmed on several frames taken during 2 hours after discovery,using same instrument, of course, PSN shows no motion. Koichi Itagaki, Teppo-cho, Yamagata, reports this object was [18.2 on his survey frame taken on 2014 Apr. 23.581UT using 0.60-m f/5.7 reflector + CCD at the Yamagata observatory. H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, suggest that this object is a LBV. See IAUC 7415, 7419, 7421, CBET 1534, and TOCP PSN J10524126+3640086 (2013). communicate by T. Yusa, Osaki, Japan.
