COMET C/2004 L1 (LINEAR)
     An apparently asteroidal object discovered by the LINEAR
project (discovery observation below), and posted on the 'NEO
Confirmation Page', has been found to show cometary appearance (5"
round coma without condensation) by J. Young (0.6-m reflector,
Table Mountain) on CCD images taken on June 14.3-14.4 UT.

     2004 UT             R.A. (2000) Decl.       Mag.
     June 12.27759   17 58 16.96   -12 54 06.6   18.0

The available astrometry, the following preliminary parabolic
orbital elements, and an ephemeris appear on MPEC 2004-L58.

SUPERNOVAE 2004cd, 2004ce, 2004cf, 2004cg
     M. Riello, European Southern Observatory (ESO), reports
(together with S. Benetti, E. Cappellaro, F. Patat, M. T.
Botticella, M. Turatto, and S. Valenti) the discovery of four
supernovae on CCD frames taken on May 14 during a search performed
with the Max-Planck-Institut 2.2-m telescope (+ Wide Field Imager)
at ESO.

SN       Date UT      R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      R       z    Type
2004cd   May 14    13 44 50.70  - 0 03 48.3   22.7   0.5    Ia
2004ce   May 14    13 54 45.93  -12 14 36.3   22.8   0.465  Ia
2004cf   May 14    14 11 05.77  -11 44 09.4   22.9   0.247  Ib/c
2004cg   May 14    14 11 23.71  -12 01 08.4   22.4   0.264  II

Spectroscopic classification was based on observations (range
600-1100 nm) obtained on May 24 with the ESO 8.2-m YEPUN telescope
(+ FORS2).  Nothing was visible at the above positions on reference
images taken with the same equipment in 2001 and 2002 (limiting
mag R about 23.5).  SNe 2004ad, 2004ae, and 2004ag are all < 0".2
from their host-galaxy centers; SN 2004cf is 1".0 west and 1".0
south of its host-galaxy center.
