SUPERNOVA 2010gs IN PGC 65331
     Further to CBET 2389, on behalf of the "La Sagra Sky Survey" (LSSS)
Supernova Search Team (which includes also Denis Vida, Ivica Skokic, Robert
Gregic, David Gostinski, Salvador Sanchez, Jaime Nomen, Reiner Stoss, Bill
Yeung, Juan Rodriguez, and Miguel Hurtado), Filip Novoselnik reports the
discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 16.6) on three CCD images (limiting
mag about 20.0) taken on Aug. 1.876, 1.888, and 1.900 UT with a 0.45-m
telescope.  The new object, which was confirmed at V = 17.6 on three stacked
90-s exposures taken with a 0.40-m telescope at Observatorio Astronomico de
La Sagra on Aug. 2.987, is located at R.A. = 20h45m39s.51 +/- 0s.01, Decl. =
-5d35'11".8 +/- 0".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 5" west and 10" north of the
nucleus of the galaxy PGC 65331.  Nothing is visible at this position on a
Digitized Sky Survey image from 1985 July 11 (limiting red mag 22) or on a
Sloan Digital Sky Survey image from 2000 Sept. 3 (limiting I mag 23).  An
image of 2010gs has been posted by Novoselnik at the following website URL:
