SUPERNOVA 2006ar IN MCG +11-13-36
     T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 18.2) on unfiltered CCD images taken on Mar. 5.907 and
6.947 UT with a 0.35-m reflector.  The new object is located at R.A. =
10h37m30s.75, Decl. = +65o00'58".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is
approximately 8".1 west and 7".5 south of the center of MCG +11-13-36.
Nothing is visible at this location on Boles' images from 2005 Jan. 4
and Apr. 3 (limiting mag 19.5) or on Digitized Sky Survey plates from
1996 Dec. 7 (limiting blue mag 20.5) and 1997 Jan. 10 (limiting red mag
21.0).
