SUPERNOVA 2010bq IN UGC 10547
     G. Duszanowicz, Akersberga, Sweden, reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.2) on unfiltered CCD images obtained on Apr. 14.03 (limiting
mag 19.0) and 14.82 UT (limiting mag 18.6) with a 0.32-m f/3.1 reflector (+
Starlight Xpress MX716 CCD camera).  The new object is located at R.A. =
16h46m55s.41, Decl. = +34o09'35".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 17" west and
15" north of the center of UGC 10547.  Nothing is visible at this position on
an image taken by himself on Apr. 1.99 (limiting mag 18.3) or on a Palomar
Sky Survey image (via the Digitized Sky Survey) taken on 1954 May 27 (limiting
red mag 20-21).
     An independent discovery of 2010bq was made by E. Briggs, J. Newton, and
T. Puckett on an image taken with a 0.4-m reflector at Portal, AZ, U.S.A., on
Apr. 14.39 UT; the magnitude was given as 18, and the position end figures as
55s.36, 35".8.  Nothing was visible at this position on frames taken by
Puckett on Apr. 4 (limiting mag 19.4).
