SUPERNOVA 2007J IN UGC 1778
     Independent discoveries on unfiltered CCD exposures of an apparent
supernova in UGC 1778 have been received from N. Lee and W. Li (Jan. 15,
LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8794) and from J. Newton and T. Puckett (on an
image taken with a 0.40-m reflector on Jan. 16 at Portal, AZ, in the
course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search).  Li provides the
following KAIT position for 2007J:  R.A. =  2h18m51s.70, Decl. =
+33o43'43".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 5".4 east and 15".3 north of
the center of UGC 1778.  Puckett provides position end figures 51s.71,
43".3.  Available magnitudes:  2006 Dec. 6.22 UT, [19.5 (KAIT); 18, [19.9
(Puckett); 2007 Jan. 15.21, 18.2; 16.14, 17.3; 17.16, 17.3 (Puckett).
