SUPERNOVA 2009kl IN IC 2548
     C. Drescher, Calamvale, Queensland, Australia, reports the discovery of
an apparent supernova (red mag 16.8) by Stuart Parker (Oxford, Canterbury,
New Zealand) on unfiltered CCD images taken with a 35-cm Celestron C14 f/6.3
Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector (+ ST8 CCD camera) on Oct. 23.660 and 24.57-24.65
UT.  From measurements by Drescher (using Astrometrica with the USNO-B1.0
catalogue), the new object is located at R.A. = 10h07m56s.75 +/- 0s.01, Decl.
= -35o13'59".3 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 22" east and 13" south of
the nucleus of the galaxy IC 2548.  Nothing is visible at this position on a
Digitized Sky Survey images from 1992 Mar. 29 (limiting red magnitude 20.2)
and 1993 Apr. 30 (limiting infrared magnitude 20.1).
