SUPERNOVA 2010kp
     S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japans, reports the discovery by Koichi Itagaki
(Teppo-cho, Yamagata) of an apparent supernova (mag 17.9) on unfiltered CCD
frames (limiting magnitude 19.5) taken on Dec. 8.505 UT using a 0.60-m
f/5.7 reflector.  The new object, which was confirmed at mag 18.0 by Itagaki
on Dec. 9.373, is located at R.A. = 4h03m38s.85 +/- 0s.01, Decl. = +70o45'15".7
(equinox 2000.0), which is 8" west and 4" north of the center of 2MASX
J04034059+7045116, and near NGC 1485.  Nothing is visible at this location on
his past frames, including one taken on 2009 Oct. 14.58 (limiting mag 20.0), or
on the Digitized Sky Survey (limiting mag 21.0; no bandpass provided).
Itagaki has posted his images at http://www.k-itagaki.jp/images/Anon-1208.jpg
and http://www.k-itagaki.jp/images/Anon-1209.jpg.  T. Yusa, Osaki, Japan,
writes that he confirmed 2010kp at mag 17.3 on three 120-s unfiltered CCD
frames (limiting magnitude 19.5) taken remotely using a 0.25-m f/3.4 hyperbolic
astrograph (+ SBIG ST-10XME camera) at the RAS Observatory near Mayhill, NM,
U.S.A., on Dec. 9.353; Yusa measured position end figures 38s.82, 15".7 for
the new object.
