Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, reports the discovery by Koichi Itagaki (Teppo-cho, Yamagata, Japan) of an apparent supernova (mag 18.2) on co-added unfiltered CCD frames taken around July 1.73 and 2.649 UT using a 0.60-m f/5.7 reflector (limiting magnitude 20.5). The new object is located at R.A. = 3h37m51s.43, Decl. = +72o34'21".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 8" east and 5" north of the center of NGC 1343. Nothing is visible at this position on Itagaki's previous CCD exposures (limiting mag 20.5) or on the Digitized Sky Survey.
