Hamuy, R. Antezana, L. Gonzalez, P. Gonzalez, P. Lopez, S. Silva, G. Folatelli, D. Iturra, R. Cartier, and F. Forster, Universidad de Chile; and D. Reichart, K. Ivarsen, A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 13.5 +/- 0.1) on an R-band image taken on Sept. 11.39 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. A confirming image on Sept. 13.29 shows 2008fp at R approximately 13.2 +/- 0.1. The new object is located at R.A. = 7h16m32s.60 +/- 0".1, Decl. = -29o19'31".7 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000), which is about 17".5 east and 2".1 south of the center of the galaxy ESO 428-G14. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Apr. 8.14 and Aug. 13.41 (limiting mag 18.0).
