SUPERNOVAE 2007hu AND 2007hv
     A. Sehgal, Seattle, WA, U.S.A., reports the discovery with T. Puckett
of two apparent supernovae on CCD images taken with telescopes at Ellijay,
GA, in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  SN 2007hu
was found with E. Guido (of Castellammare di Stabia, Italy) using the 0.35-m
reflector, and 2007hv was found with R. Gagliano (of Cottonwood, AZ, U.S.A.)
using the 0.50-m reflector.
