SUPERNOVA 2004gw IN PGC 16812
     T. Puckett and R. Ireland report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.9) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with the
0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope on Dec. 27.14 UT (and
confirmed on frames taken on Dec. 29.11 at mag 17.7).   The new
object is located at R.A. = 5h08m48s.41, Decl. = +62o26'20".7
(equinox 2000.0), which is 17".7 east and 14".2 south of the
center of PGC 16812.  The object is not present on images taken
by Puckett on Sept. 10 and Nov. 9 (limiting mag about 20.0).
