Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 12.6 +/- 0.2) on images taken on Mar. 25.141 and 26.148 UT at the Bronberg Observatory. The new object is located at R.A. = 23h57m47s.5 +/- 0s.2, Decl. = -32o33'24" +/- 2" (equinox 2000.0), which is 26" east and 138" north of the nucleus of the Scd-type galaxy NGC 7793. Nothing is visible at this position on an image of the Digitized Sky Survey (limiting red mag 20.5) or on images taken by Monard on Jan. 2.742 (limiting red mag 17.5) and earlier.
