SUPERNOVA 2010gt IN ESO 187-21
     L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (magnitude about 18.0) on several unfiltered CCD images
taken on Aug. 2.867 UT at the Bronberg Observatory.  The new object, which
was confirmed at magnitude about 17.7 on Aug 3.806, is located at R.A. =
20h51m22s.38, Decl. = -52d32'48".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3" east and
11" north of the galaxy core of ESO 187-21.  Nothing is shown at the position
in Digitized Sky Survey images down to red mag 20.5 or on the previous image
of this galaxy taken at the Bronberg Observatory on 2010 July 7.067 (limiting
mag 19.0) or on earlier images from there.
