SUPERNOVA 2004dk IN NGC 6118
     Further to IAUC 8375, J. Graham and W. Li report the LOSS
discovery of an apparent supernova on an unfiltered KAIT image
taken on Aug. 1.19 UT (mag about 17.6).  The new object was confirmed
on earlier images taken on July 30.19 (mag about 18.6), and
31.20 (mag about 18.0).  SN 2004dk is located at R.A. =
16h21m48s.93, Decl. = -2o16'17".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4".4 east and
43".5 north of the nucleus of NGC 6118.  KAIT images on July 29.21, 27.19
and 25.20 showed nothing at this position to limiting mags 18.0, 18.5 and
19.5, respectively.
