SUPERNOVA 2010hb IN UGC 2537
     T. Boles, Coddenham, England, reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 17.5) on an unfiltered CCD image taken on Aug. 24.007 UT with a
0.35-m reflector.  The new object (which was confirmed at V magnitude 17.6
on Aug. 24.502 remotely using a 0.61-m Cassegrain reflector at the Sierra
Stars Observatory, Alpine County, California; image limiting mag 20.5), is
located at R.A. = 3h07m01s.66, Decl. = +46o37'20".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is
approximately 31".3 west and 4".3 north of the center of UGC 2537.  Nothing
is present at this position on Boles's images from Mar. 2 and Aug. 5
(limiting mag 19.5) or on Digitized Sky Survey plates from 1989 Oct. 5
(limiting red mag 20.5) and 1989 Sept. 8 (limiting blue mag 21.0).
