SUPERNOVA 2009ad IN UGC 3236
     J. Newton, Portal, AZ, U.S.A.; and T. Puckett, Ellijay, GA, U.S.A.,
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 16.7) on unfiltered CCD
images (limiting mag 19.3) taken with a 0.40-m reflector at Portal on Feb.
13.15 UT in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new
object, which was confirmed at mag 16.6 on images (limiting mag 18.6) taken
by T. Orff on Feb. 14.09 with a 0.40-m reflector at Portal, is located at
R.A. = 5h03m33s.38, Decl. = +6o39'35".7 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".7 east
and 9".4 north of the center of the galaxy UGC 3236.  Nothing is visible at
this position on images taken by Puckett on Feb. 8 (limiting mag 19.3).
