SUPERNOVA 2006li IN UGC 3664
     Further to IAUC 8766, M. Baek and W. Li report the LOSS discovery
of an apparent supernova (mag 19.4) on unfiltered KAIT images taken on
Oct. 28.49 and 29.52 UT.  SN 2006li is located at R.A. = 7h05m33s.33,
Decl. = +33d50'01".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3".3 west and 20".4
north of the nucleus of UGC 3664.  A KAIT image taken on 2003 Oct. 22.52
showed nothing at this position (limiting mag 19.8).  Also, the Digitized
Sky Survey red plate image taken on 1989 Oct. 28 shows nothing at this
position (limiting mag 21.0).
