(LSSS) supernova search team (which includes also Ivica Skokic, Robert Gregic,
David Gostinski, Salvador Sanchez, Jaime Nomen, Reiner Stoss, Bill Yeung, Juan
Rodriguez and Miguel Hurtado), report the discovery of an apparent supernova
(magnitude 18.0) on two CCD images (limiting mag about 20.0) taken on Oct.
16.825 and 16.839 UT with a 0.45-m telescope.  The new object is located at
R.A. = 1h00m02s.49, Decl = +41d42'57".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is 13".7 west
and 4".4 south of the nucleus of the presumed host galaxy, PGC 3583.
Additional approximate magnitudes for 2010ix, from unfiltered images unless
otherwise noted:  1986 Nov. 27.186 UT, [22 (Digitized Sky Survey, red plate);
2010 Oct. 17.871, 18.2 (LSSS).  The LSSS image from Oct. 16 has been posted
