SUPERNOVA 2007cl IN NGC 6479
     T. Puckett and G. Sostero report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.6) on CCD images (limiting mag 19.0) taken with a
0.35-m reflector at Ellijay, GA, on May 23.34 UT in the course of
the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object is located
at R.A. = 17h48m21s.19, Decl. = +54o09'05".2 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 3".2 west and 8".2 north of the center of NGC 6479.  Nothing is
visible at this location on images taken by Puckett on 2006 May 16
(limiting mag 19.4).  A confirming image of 2007cl at mag 17.3 was
obtained on May 23.85 by G. Sostero and T. Orff with a 0.45-m
reflector at Remanzacco, Italy.
