SUPERNOVA 2006du IN IC 1529
     P. Luckas, Perth, W. Australia; O. Trondal, Oslo, Norway; and M.
Schwartz, Patagonia, AZ, report the discovery of an apparent supernova
on unfiltered CCD frames taken with the 0.35-m telescope at Perth
on July 18.9 (at mag 17.0) and 22.9 UT (mag 16.7) in the course of the
Tenagra Observatory Supernova Search.  SN 2006du is located at R.A. =
0h05m12s.26, Decl. = -11o29'23".6 (equinox 2000.0), which is 13".2 west
and 45".6 north of the center of IC 1529 (which itself has position end
figures 13s.25, 9".2).  Nothing was visible at the position of 2006du
on an image taken by Luckas on June 10.8 (limiting magnitude about 18.0)
or on a Digitized Sky Survey image from 1983 Oct. 1 (limiting mag 21.0).
