     Further to IAUC 8205, T. Boles reports the discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 18.4) on unfiltered CCD images taken on
Sept. 23.030 and 23.922 UT.  The new object is located at R.A. =
2h33m04s.80, Decl. = +35o30'29".7, which is approximately 8".1
east and 2".1 north of the center of MCG +06-6-53.  SN 2003ii is not
present on Boles' images from Aug. 14 and Sept. 2 (limiting mag
19.5), and it is not present on Palomar Sky Survey red (1986) or
blue (1987) plates.

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