SUPERNOVA 2010jj IN NGC 812
     D. Rich, Hampden, ME, U.S.A., reports his discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag about 17.0) on unfiltered CCD frames taken with a 0.41-m
reflector on Nov. 3.12 UT, with a confirming image obtained on Nov. 4.02
(yielding the transient's magnitude as about 16.9).  The new object is
located at R.A. = 2h06m52s.23, Decl. = +44o34'17".5 (equinox 2000.0), which
is about 7".8 east and 5".5 south of the center of NGC 812.  Nothing is
visible at this location on a CCD frame taken by Rich on Sept. 12.23
(limiting mag about 19.0) or on Palomar Digital Sky Survey images from
1989 Sept. 29 (limiting red mag about 20.5) and 1992 Dec. 22 (limiting blue
mag about 21.0).
