SUPERNOVA 2004dw IN UGC 11394
     T. Puckett and J. Newton report the discovery of an apparent supernova
of mag 17.2 on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with the Puckett Observatory
0.35-m automated supernova patrol telescope in Ellijay, GA, on Aug. 19.19 UT.
It was confirmed by Puckett on frames taken on Aug. 20.17 with a 0.60-m
reflector.  The new object is located at R.A. = 19h03m38s.25, Decl. =
+27o36'54".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 25".3 east and 31".3 north of the
center of UGC 11394.  The candidate, which is 76".8 east and 26".2 north of
the star GSC 2130.2085, was not present on images taken by Puckett on 2003
Apr. 23 and four other nights back to 2000 (limiting mag about 20.0).
