SUPERNOVA 2010fy
     L. A. G. Monard, Pretoria, South Africa, reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (magnitude approximately 17.7) on several unfiltered CCD
images taken on July 7.163 UT at the Bronberg Observatory.  The new object,
which was confirmed at mag approximately 17.1 on July 9.152, is located at
R.A. = 5h24m52s.46, Decl. = -46d46'37".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9" east
and 9" north of the core of the presumed host galaxy.  Nothing is visible at
this position on Digitized Sky Survey images (limiting red mag 20.5) or on
Monard's image of this galaxy taken on 2010 Apr. 22.719 (limiting mag 18.5)
or on earlier Monard images.
