[vsnet-alert 2859] Possible SN in NGC 3294

["Howard E. Bond" <bond@stsci.edu>]

Dear VSNET colleagues:

An amateur friend, Dr. Paul Knauth (knauth@asu.edu) has informed me
of his visual discovery of a possible SN (mag 12-13) in NGC 3294 
(J2000: 10:36:15, +37:19:24) on 1999 April 11.2 with an 0.3-m
reflector.  

The new object is reported to be near the SE end of the galaxy's disk,
although I may have misinterpreted his report, and it could be at the
NW end.

Nothing is seen on the Digitized Sky Survey at either possible position.

Can anyone check his observation?

clear skies,
