     L. A. G. Monard reports his discovery of an apparent supernova
on unfiltered CCD images taken on July 9.125 (at mag about 18.4 +/-
0.4), 11.164 (mag 18.5 +/- 0.5), and 12.156 UT (mag 18.3 +/- 0.3) with
the 0.30-m reflector at the Bronberg Observatory near Pretoria, South
Africa.  SN 2006dp is located at R.A. = 1h00m38s.84, Decl. = -7o58'49".3
(equinox 2000.0), which is 12" east and 3" north of the nucleus of MCG
-01-3-56.  Nothing is visible at this location on a red image of the
Digitized Sky Survey (limiting red mag 20.5 or on images taken by Monard
