     Further to CBET 1096, R. Mostardi and W. Li report the discovery of an
apparent supernova on unfiltered KAIT images taken on Nov. 6.21 (at mag 18.9)
and 7.21 UT (mag 18.8).  The new object is located at R.A. = 23h22m19s.50,
Decl. = +50o09'20".0 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".7 east and 12".4 south of
the nucleus of UGC 12558.  KAIT images taken on 2006 Nov. 11.19 (limiting mag
20.0) and 2007 Oct. 31.23 (limiting mag 19.5) showed nothing at this location.
