     T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.3) on 24 unfiltered CCD images taken on Aug 21.000 and
22.004 UT with a 0.35-m reflector.  The new object is located at R.A. =
15h55m31s.05 +/- 0s.01, Decl. = +41o56'54".0 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which
is approximately 0".8 east and 8".0 south of the center of MCG +07-33-12.
Nothing is present at this position on Boles' images from 2006 Apr. 5 and
June 30 (limiting mag 19.5) or on Digitized Sky Survey plates from 1991 Apr.
