SUPERNOVA 2007cq
     Further to IAUC 8794, T. Orff (Shenandoah, PA, U.S.A.) reports the
discovery with J. Newton (Osoyoos, BC, Canada) of an apparent supernova
(mag 15.8) on a CCD image (limiting mag 19.4) taken remotely with a 0.50-m
reflector at Ellijay, GA, on June 21.345 UT in the course of the Puckett
Observatory Supernova Search; 2007cq was confirmed at mag 15.9 by Orff on
June 22.275.  The new object is located at R.A. = 22h14m40s.43, Decl. =
+5o04'48".9 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3".3 west and 5".7 north of the
center of the apparent host galaxy.  Nothing is visible at this location
on images taken by Puckett on 2002 June 18.30 (limiting mag 19.0), 2007
Apr. 30.38 (limiting mag 17.5), and May 24.35 (limiting mag 17.1).
