SUPERNOVA 2006cx IN NGC 7316
     Further to IAUC 8716, R. R. Prasad and W. Li report the LOSS
discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on
June 8.46 (at mag 17.4) and 9.47 UT (mag 17.5).  SN 2006cx is located
at R.A. = 22h35m56s.45, Decl. = +20o19'17".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is
1".6 east and 3".5 south of the center of NGC 7316.  A KAIT image taken
on 2005 Dec. 6.15 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag 19.0).
