discovered and confirmed on unfiltered images taken on Jan 29.2 UT
and Jan 30.2 UT (both with magnitude about 17.5). The new object is

unfiltered image on Jan 10.2 UT already showed a hint of the SN,
while an image taken on Dec 30.3 UT, 1999 showed nothing at the
position of the SN to a limiting mag of 19.0.
