on a unfiltered image taken on Aug. 5 with the 0.41-m "PROMPT 5" telescope
at the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory.  The candidate supernova is
located at R.A. = 4h53m18s.03 +/- 0".1, Decl. = -03d00'59".6 +/- 0".1 (equinox
J2000.0), which is about 9".6 east and 23".2 south of center of the galaxy.
Approximate magnitudes are Aug. 5.38 UT, 14.8 +/- 0.2; 10.34, 14.9 +/- 0.2.
Nothing is visible at the location on archival images taken on Feb. 4.11
(limiting mag 18.0) and Jan. 16.14 (limiting mag 18.0).
