     E. Guido, T. Puckett, and J. Newton report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 16.1) on unfiltered CCD images (limiting mag 18.5) taken with
a 0.40-m reflector at Portal, AZ, U.S.A., on Apr. 25.26 UT in the course of
the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object, which was
confirmed at mag 16.0 on images (limiting mag 18.5) taken by T. Orff on Apr.
26.16 with a 0.40-m reflector at Portal, is located at R.A. = 14h04m11s.29,
Decl. = +33o18'22".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is 5".4 east and 6".2 south of
the center of MCG +06-31-61.  Nothing is visible at this position on images
taken by Puckett on Apr. 12 (limiting mag 18.7).
