SUPERNOVA 2004cv IN MCG +03-41-120
     M. Armstrong, Rolvenden, U.K., reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova on unfiltered CCD images taken on June 24.969
(mag 16.8) and 25.921 UT (mag 16.6) with a 0.35-m reflector.
The new object is located at R.A. = 16h06m14s.45 +/- 0s.03,
Decl. = +18o24'54".0 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1" west
and 2" north of the center of MCG +03-41-120.  Nothing is
visible at this location on Armstrong's images taken on May 18,
24, and June 8 (limiting mag 19.0) or on red Palomar Sky Survey
images from 1987 and 1991 (limiting mag about 20.0-20.8) and a
blue POSS image from 1992.
