SUPERNOVA 2010H IN IC 494
     Further to CBET 2119, J. Kong, S. B. Cenko, W. Li, and A. V. Filippenko,
University of California, report the LOSS discovery of an apparent supernova
on unfiltered KAIT images:

 SN       2010 UT       R.A. (2000.0) Decl.      Mag.      Offset
 2010H    Jan. 16.43   8 06 24.36  + 1 02 09.1   15.3    3".9 E, 0".7 S

Nothing is visible at this position in a KAIT image taken on 2009 Dec. 25.39
UT, to limiting mag 18.5.  J. Brimacombe, Cairns, Australia, confirmed the
presence of 2010H at mag 15.2 in a co-added image from four 1200-s unfiltered
images taken remotely with a 0.5-m telescope located near Mayhill, NM, U.S.A.,
on Jan. 17.15.
