SUPERNOVA 2008hh IN IC 112
     T. Puckett, Ellijay, GA, U.S.A.; and T. Crowley, Chiefland, FL, U.S.A.,
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 16.6) on unfiltered CCD
images (limiting mag 19.5) taken with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay on Nov.
19.12 UT in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new
object was confirmed at mag 16.6 on images (limiting mag 19.8) taken by T.
Orff on Nov. 20.15 with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay.  SN 2008hh is located
at R.A. = 1h26m03s.65, Decl. = +11o26'26".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9".8
east and 8".4 south of the center of IC 112.  Nothing is visible at this
position on images taken by Puckett on Oct. 20 (limiting mag 19.2).
