SUPERNOVA 2003hz IN PGC 17866
     Further to IAUC 8199, D. Singer, B. Swift, and W. Li report the
LOTOSS discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images
taken on Sept. 14.5 (mag 16.7) and 15.5 UT (mag 16.8).  SN 2003hz is
located at R.A. = 5h48m07s.86, Decl. = +46o15'22".8 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 2".6 west and 1".6 north of the nucleus of PGC 17866.  A KAIT
image taken on Mar. 11.2 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag
about 19.5).

      be preliminary announcements of items that later appear in the
      formal IAU Circulars.  Citations should normally be made to IAUCs
      rather than to CBETs.
