OBSERVATIONS OF SUPERNOVA 1994D IN NGC 4526 - REPORT NO. 001 (1994 March 10)
============================================================================

Time system is Universal Time. Magnitudes are calculated from Pogson's
step method. CL = class: estimated accuracy of observation; 1 = good
(+/- 0.1 mag.), 2 = fair (+/- 0.2 mag.), 3 = poor (+/- 0.3 mag.). CD =
code: I = in-focus observation, O = out-of-focus observation. Instrument
(type, aperture in mm and magnification): C = catadioptric telescope
(SCT); M = Newtonian reflector. This report contains new (*) observa-
tions.

Comparison stars: 126 = 12.6; 134 = 13.4. The identifications and mag-
nitudes were taken from the Thompson-Bryan atlas. Observing was difficult
due to the diffuse glow from the galaxy. The supernova is located 9" west
and 7" north from the nucleus of the galaxy. The discovery announcement
appeared in IAU Circular No. 5946.

Observers: Haakon Dahle (Oslo, Norway); Bjorn H. Granslo (Fjellhamar,
Norway); Oernulf Midtskogen (Tranby, Norway).
