SUPERNOVA 2003hm IN UGC 2295
     Further to IAUC 8184, T. Boles reports the discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 17.7) on unfiltered CCD images taken on
Aug. 20.112 and 21.069 UT with a 0.35-m reflector in the course
of the U.K. Nova/Supernova Patrol.  The new object is located at
R.A. = 2h48m58s.39, Decl. = +3 10'07".6, which is approximately
6".4 west of the center of UGC 2295.  SN 2003hm is not present
on Boles' images from Jan. 7 and Feb. 17 (limiting mag 19.0), and
it is not present on Palomar Sky Survey 1990 red or 1992 blue plates.
