SUPERNOVA 2006au IN UGC 11057
     O. Trondal, Oslo, Norway; P. Luckas, Perth, W. Australia; and
M. Schwartz, Patagonia, AZ, report the discovery of an apparent
supernova on unfiltered CCD frames taken in the course of the
Tenagra Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.35-m Tenagra
telescope in Oslo on Mar. 7.20 (at mag 17.2) and 10.65 UT (mag 17.4).
SN 2006au is located at R.A. = 17h57m13s.56, Decl. = +12o11'03".2
(equinox 2000.0), which is 17".0 west and 18".2 north of the center
of UGC 11057 (which has position end figures 14s.72, 10'45".0).
Nothing was visible at the position of 2006au on an image taken
by Schwartz on 2004 Sept. 17.15 (limiting magnitude about 19.5) using
the 0.81-m Tenagra telescope at Patagonia.
