SUPERNOVA 2005ep IN UGC 10626
     Further to IAUC 8605, T. Puckett and M. Peoples report
the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 18.0) on an
unfiltered CCD frame taken with the 0.60-m automated supernova
patrol telescope on Sept. 30.05 UT.  The new object was confirmed
at mag 17.9 on an image taken by D. McDonald, Celbridge, Ireland,
with a 0.2-m reflector on Sept. 30.8.  SN 2005ep is located at
R.A. = 16h56m35s.49, Decl. = +58o01'30".2 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 2".7 east and 12".7 south of the center of UGC 10626.  Nothing
is present at this location on images taken by Puckett on Sept.
6, 9, 11, and 18 (limiting mag about 20.0).
