     T. Puckett and A. Kroes report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.9) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with the
Puckett Observatory 0.50-m automated supernova patrol telescope in

Newton, Portal, AZ, on frames taken on Dec. 29.40 with a 0.35-m
reflector).  The new object is located at R.A. = 8h49m14s.34,
Decl. = +36o07'47".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 25".0 west and
35".9 north of the center of UGC 4614.  SN 2005ms is not present
