and D. Reichart, K. Ivarsen, J. Haislip, A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander,
and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of
the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag
approximately 16.8) on unfiltered images taken on July 12.08 and 12.98 UT with
the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 1' telescope located at Cerro Tololo.  The new object is
located at R.A. = 13h23m06s.30 +/- 0".1, Decl. = -13o00'18".1 +/- 0".1 (equinox
2000.0), which is about 3".4 east and 4".0 south of center of the presumed host
galaxy.  Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on June
12.07 (limiting mag 18.0) and May 1.13 (limiting mag 18.5).
