SUPERNOVA 2007cv IN IC 2597
     A. Klotz, Observatoire de Haute Provence, on behalf of the
"TAROT collaboration", reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag about R = 15.3 +/- 0.3) on June 29.00 UT using
images of the 0.25-m "TAROT" robotic telescope at La Silla.  The
new object is located at R.A. = 10h37m45s.4, Decl. = -27o04'57"
(equinox 2000.0), which is 24" west and 6" south of the nucleus of
IC 2597.  Nothing is present at this location on a TAROT image
taken on June 24.98 (limiting R mag 17.8) or on Palomar Sky Survey
images, but 2007cv is present on images taken on June 25.99 (R =
17.5 +/- 0.5) and 27.00 (R = 15.5 +/- 0.3).
