SUPERNOVA 2010lp IN NGC 1137
     L. Cox, J. Newton, and T. Puckett report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag 16.7) on an unfiltered CCD image (limiting mag 19.1) taken with
a 0.40-m reflector at Portal, AZ, U.S.A., on Dec. 29.16 UT in the course of
the Puckett Observatory Supernova Search.  The new object, which was confirmed
at mag 16.7 on Dec. 30.04 by S. Walters, Albrightsville, PA, U.S.A., with a
0.40-m reflector (+ Apogee U16m CCD camera), is located at R.A. =
2h54m03s.50, Decl. = +02o57'43".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 13".2 east of the
center of NGC 1137.  Nothing is visible at this position on images taken by
Puckett on Nov. 19 (limiting mag 19.0).
