     T. Puckett and E. Guido report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.8) on a CCD image (limiting mag 18.5) taken with a
0.35-m reflector at Ellijay, GA, on Apr. 8.30 UT in the course of the
Puckett Observatory Supernova Search; 2007bf was confirmed at mag 17.7
by T. Orff and J. Newton (Portal, AZ, 0.40-m reflector) on Apr. 10.39.
The new object is located at R.A. = 14h15m12s.05, Decl. = +15o44'11".8
(equinox 2000.0), which is 4".3 east and 20".1 south of the center of
