SUPERNOVA 2007st IN NGC 692
     Further to IAUC 8874, L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports
the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 15.0 +/- 0.3) on CCD
images taken on Dec. 22.29 and 23.24 UT.  The new object is located at
R.A. = 1h48m42s.47, Decl. = -48o38'57".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4" east
and 4" south of the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 692.  Nothing is visible at
this position on the Digitized Sky Survey (limiting red mag 20.5) or on an
image taken on Dec. 1.25 by Monard (limiting red mag 18.8).
