SUPERNOVA 2007uz IN PGC 34755
     T.-W. Chen, C.-S. Lin, C.-H. Lin, and Y.-T. Chen report the discovery of
an apparent supernova (mag about 18.2) on unfiltered CCD images taken in the
course of the Taiwan Supernova Survey (cf. IAUC 8399, 8471, 8864; CBET 976)
on 2007 Dec. 30.869 UT with the 1-m Lulin Observatory telescope.  The new
object is located at R.A. = 11h20m51s.63, Decl. = -29o24'16".5 (equinox
2000.0), which is 19".7 west and 6".0 south of the center of PGC 34755.
Nothing was visible at the location of 2007uz on a Digitized Sky Survey red
image from 1991 Feb. 22 (limiting magnitude about 21.0).  A confirming image
on 2008 Jan. 1.868 shows 2007uz at mag approximately 18.0.  Images identifying
2007uz are available at http://www.astro.ncu.edu.tw/~sne/SN-PGC34755.htm.
