SUPERNOVA 2006mo IN MCG +06-02-17
     Further to IAUC 8770, N. Joubert and W. Li report the LOSS discovery
of an apparent supernova (mag 18.2) on unfiltered KAIT images taken on
Nov. 1.24 and 4.19 UT.  SN 2006mo is located at R.A. = 0h46m38s.55, Decl.
= +36o19'57".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".4 west and 4".7 north of the
center of MCG +06-02-17.  A KAIT image taken on Oct. 20.25 showed nothing
at this position (limiting mag 19.0).  MCG +06-02-17 and MCG +06-02-16
(UGC 480) are interacting galaxies.
