SUPERNOVA 2003jh IN MCG -02-11-30
     Further to IAUC 8232, M. Moore and W. Li report the LOSS/KAIT
discovery, on images taken on Oct. 29.4 (mag about 17.8) and 30.4 UT
(mag about 17.9), of an apparent supernova located at R.A. = 4h16m37s.30,
Decl. = -12o23'32".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 12".4 west and 21".9
north of the nucleus of MCG -02-11-30.  A KAIT image taken on Oct. 22.4
showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).

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