report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 17.7) on an
unfiltered image taken on Oct. 18.04 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope
located at Cerro Tololo.  The new object, which is also present at mag
approximately 16.7 in an image taken on Oct. 19.00, is located at R.A. =
18h36m36s.91 +/- 0".2, Decl. = -47o03'15".7 +/- 0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which
is about 3".1 west and  0".5 south of center of the galaxy ESO 281-14.
Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Sept. 22.09
(limiting mag 18.0) and Sept. 9.14 (limiting mag 18.5).
