SUPERNOVA 2006fp IN UGC 12182
     Further to IAUC 8741, T. Puckett and R. Gagliano report the
discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.7) on an image taken
with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, GA, on Sept. 17.15 UT in the
course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object
is located at R.A. = 22h45m41s.13, Decl. = +73o09'47".8 (equinox
2000.0), which is 13".9 east and 3".6 north of the center of UGC
12182.  SN 2006fp was confirmed at mag 17.6 by J. Grcevich (via the
request of J. Storr and G. Brissenden) with the 2.4-m Hiltner
telescope at MDM Observatory on an image taken on Sept. 18.27.
Nothing is visible at this location on images taken by Puckett on
2005 July 14 (limiting mag 19.6).
