     T. Puckett, R. Gagliano, and J. Newton report the discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 14.9) on CCD images (limiting mag 18.8) taken with a
0.40-m reflector at Portal, AZ, on Jan. 3.27 UT in the course of the Puckett
Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object was confirmed at mag 14.9 by
T. Orff on Jan. 4.15 with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, GA.  SN 2008C is
located at R.A. = 6h57m11s.53, Decl. = +20o26'13".7 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 2".95 west of the center of UGC 3611.  Nothing is visible at this position
on images taken by Puckett on 2007 Feb. 8 (limiting mag 19.7).
