POSSIBLE SUPERNOVA IN NGC 7377
     Further to IAUC 8361, S. Park and W. Li report the LOSS
discovery, on KAIT images taken on June 28.43 and 29.41 UT, of a
possible supernova (mag about 17.8) located at R.A. = 22h47m55s.88,
Decl. = -22o19'40".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 115".5 east and
57".3 south of the nucleus of NGC 7377.  A KAIT image taken on 2003
Dec. 16.16 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about
19.0).  S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan, forwards the following position
end figures from an unfiltered CCD image taken by K. Itagaki
(Yamagata, Japan, 0.60-m f/5.7 reflector) on July 1.766:  55s.88,
40".7 (mag 17.7).  Itagaki adds that nothing is visible at this
location on the Digitized Sky Survey or on his own earlier survey
frames taken on 2002 Aug. 30 and 2003 Sept. 22 (limiting mag 18.5).


UNUSUAL CATACLYSMIC VARIABLE IN HERCULES
     Further to IAUC 8363, J. Bedient adds that the June 22 images
were taken at the 2.2-m reflector by J. Pittichova.
