Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag approximately 16.6) on an unfiltered image taken on Oct. 9.35
UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 4' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new
object, which is also present in images taken on Oct. 12.27 (at mag
approximately 16.8), is located at R.A. = 6h57m23s.79 +/- 0".1, Decl. =
-24o43'10".5 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000), which is about 11".8 west and 26".1
north of the center of the galaxy ESO 491-12. Nothing is visible at this
position on archival images taken on Aug. 27.40 (limiting mag 18.0) and Feb.
11.17 (limiting mag 18.5).
