Dear Dr Kato, In response to the report of a possible Supernovae in NGC3294 I obtained a ccd image tonight at 1999 April 12.90865 using the 33cm F/3 automatic telescope at Conder Brow Observatory and found NO NEW OBJECT at the reported magnitude (12-13) at either of the two quoted positions. Best wishes Denis. In message <371246CD.6119@stsci.edu>, "Howard E.
