SUPERNOVA 2005aj IN UGC 2411
     Further to IAUC 8486, T. Puckett and J. Newton report the
discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 18) on an unfiltered CCD
frame taken with the 0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope
on Feb. 18.02 UT (and confirmed on frames taken by G. Sostero,
Remanzacco, Italy, with a 0.25-m reflector on Feb. 18.87, the magnitude
also reported as 18).  The new object is located at R.A. =
2h58m48s.85, Decl. = +75o45'13".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is
8".6 east and 51".7 north of the center of UGC 2411.  Nothing is
present at this location on images taken by Puckett on 2002 Feb. 11
and 2003 Feb. 21 (limiting mag about 20.0).
