[vsnet-alert 2016] possible supernova in ngc 7013

["Steve H. Lucas" <76620.1721@compuserve.com>]

I received this message amongst the flurry and excitement
of Mike Schwartz's outstanding discovery, and am forwarding 
this to the ISN and VSNET alert forum. 

Cheers,

Steve

RE:	possible supernova in ngc 7013


Steve,

While processing an image of ngc 7103 taken on Aug 1st at 1:36:45 AM local
California time, I believe I may have found a supernova.

Details of NGC 7013 in Cygnus:
RA = 21:03.6
DEC = +29:54
Mag 11.3
Size 4.8 x 1.4 arc min
I have a 20 minute exposure taken with a ST-8 and AO-7 adaptive 
optics on a Meade LX200 10" at F/6.3

Suspect supernova:

Mag: ~14
size: ??
located: Seperation = 18.82 Arc Secs,Position Angle = 186.70 
degrees from the core. (Note: This is is only method Mr. Mulchin 
had to determine the suspect offset).

I have no way at the time to verify with a second image
(fogged in).

I have checked the POSS plates and find nothing there.
I also found an image or NGC 7013 from Enrico Prosperi taken 
08/31/97 with a HI-SIS22 camera and the supernova is not there.

How do I get confirmation on this? What is the next step?

Thanks
