SUPERNOVA 2004eo IN NGC 6928
     S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports that K. Itagaki, Teppo-cho, Yamagata,
has discovered an apparent supernova of R = 17.8 on ten or more frames
obtained around Sept. 17.50 UT using 0.60-m reflector f/5.7 + unfiltered CCD.
The new object is located at R.A. = 20h32m54s.19, Decl. = +9o55'42".7 (equinox
2000.0), which is 59".1 east and 6".5 north of the nucleus of NGC 6928.
Itagaki confirmed the presence of the object at R = 17.6 on Sept. 18.65.  It
was not present to limiting mag 18.5 on his images from Sept. 12, Sept. 8,
June 15 and 2002 July 30.  It is also absent from the Digitized Sky Survey.
