SUPERNOVA 2009ba IN IC 582
     T. Puckett, Ellijay, GA, U.S.A.; and R. Moore, Warwick, NY, U.S.A.,
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 18.4) on unfiltered CCD
images (limiting mag 19.7) taken with a 0.35-m reflector at Ellijay on
Mar. 21.18 UT in the course of the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.
The new object, which was confirmed at mag 18.3 on images (limiting mag 19.7)
taken by T. Orff on Mar. 23.14 with a 0.60-m reflector at Ellijay, is located
at R.A. = 9h59m01s.92, Decl. = +17o49m00s.1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 24".1
east and 1".9 south of the center of IC 582.  Nothing is visible at this
position on images taken by Puckett on Feb. 21 (limiting mag 19.5).
