SUPERNOVA 2010gv
     Further to CBETs 2404 and 2408, D. Balam and E. Chisholm, National
Research Council of Canada, obtained CCD images of 2010gv on Aug. 13.33 UT
using the 1.82-m Plaskett telescope, showing the new object at R.A. =
17h58m22s.57, Decl. = +50d47'34".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 2".3 east and
1".2 N north the core of the faint galaxy SDSS J175822.33+504733.1, noting
that there is no source visible at this position on the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey DR7 images (to limiting R magnitude about 22) or on the Palomar Sky
Survey.  Using the SDSS catalogue star SDSS J175818.72+504702.2 as a
secondary standard and converting the SDSS magnitudes to the Kron_Cousins
system, they derive a differential magnitude of R = 15.85.
