SUPERNOVA 2010bj IN NGC 2357
     Four hours after CBET 2230 was issued by the Central Bureau on March 28,
H. Sato (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) relayed the independent
discovery of 2010bj by Kuniaki Goto (Miyoshi city, Hiroshima prefecture) on
three unfiltered CCD images (limiting mag about 18.5) taken on Mar. 26.49
and 26.54 UT using a 35-cm f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector (+ SBIG ST-8XME
camera), with 2010bj measured to be at mag about 16.4 with the position
given as R.A. = 7h17m36s, Decl. = +23d22'.0 (equinox 2000.0).
