SUPERNOVA 2006O IN UGC 633
    D. Rich, Hampden, ME, reports his discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag about 17.2) on unfiltered CCD frames taken with a
0.31-m reflector on Jan. 22.95 UT, with a confirming image of
the object at mag 17.0 obtained on Jan. 24.09 by M. Schwartz.  SN
2006O is located at R.A = 1h01m20s.71, Decl. = +31o30'09".4
(equinox 2000.0), which is about 6".4 west and 18".4 south of the
center of UGC 633.  Nothing is visible at this location on CCD
frames taken by Rich on 2005 Nov. 19.97 and Dec. 8.99 (limiting mag
about 18.6) or on Palomar Digital Sky Survey images from 1989
(limiting red mag 20.0) and 1988 (limiting blue mag 19.9).
