     T. Puckett and R. Gagliano report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 18.0) on a CCD image (limiting mag 19.0) taken with a
0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, GA, on Mar. 7.29 UT in the course of the
Puckett Observatory Supernova Search; 2007ag was confirmed at mag 17.5
by T. Orff and D. Lane (Stillwater Lake, NS, 0.35-m reflector) on Mar.
8.12.  The new object is located at R.A. = 10h01m35s.99, Decl. =
+21o36'42".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4".0 east and 15".5 north of
