SUPERNOVA 2006aq IN MCG +07-24-32
     T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 18.6) on unfiltered CCD images taken on Mar. 5.992 and
6.952 UT with a 0.35-m reflector.  The new object is located at R.A. =
11h48m19s.49, Decl. = +38o44'48".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is
approximately 6".4 west and 6".4 south of the center of MCG +07-24-32.
Nothing is visible at this location on Boles' images from 2005 Jan. 12
and May 11 (limiting mag 19.5) or on Digitized Sky Survey plates from
1986 Feb. 10 (limiting blue mag 20.5) and 1997 June 3 (limiting red mag
21.0).
