SUPERNOVAE 2005lz AND 2005ma
     T. Puckett and R. Gagliano report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.8) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with the Puckett
Observatory 0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope in Ellijay,
GA, on Dec. 24.07 UT (and confirmed at mag 17.7 by J. Newton,
Portal, AZ on frames taken on Dec. 25.11 with a 0.35-m reflector).
SN 2005lz is located at R.A. = 2h10m49s.76, Decl. = +34o58'58".2
(equinox 2000.0), which is 13".8 east and 6".3 south of the center of
UGC 1666.  Nothing was present at this location on images taken by
Puckett on numerous dates from 1999 to 2005 (limiting mag ranging
from 18.4 to 20.1).
     Puckett also reports the discovery with T. Orff of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.9) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with the
patrol telescope on Dec. 24.21 UT (and confirmed at mag 17.3 by
Newton on frames taken on Dec. 25.20).  SN 2005ma is located at R.A. =
4h49m53s.91, Decl. = -10o45'23".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1".9 west
and 7".2 south of the center of MCG -2-13-13.  Nothing was present at
this location on images taken by Puckett on numerous dates from 2000
to 2005 (limiting mag ranging from 18.0 to 20.0).
