SUPERNOVA 2010hk IN UGC 2802
     J. Newton and T. Puckett report the discovery of an apparent supernova
(mag 17.6) on unfiltered CCD images (limiting mag 19.2) taken with a 0.40-m
reflector at Portal, AZ, U.S.A., on Sept. 2.44 UT in the course of the
Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object, which was confirmed on
Sept. 3.44 at mag 17.6 on images (limiting mag 19.1) taken by Puckett with the
0.40-m reflector at Portal, is located at R.A. = 3h37m52s.61, Decl. =
+4o56'52".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 26".4 east and 3".9 south of the center
of UGC 2802.  Nothing is visible at this position on images taken by Puckett
on 2009 July 28 (limiting mag 19.2).
