Dear SN watchers,

Sorry, it was SN 1972L.

  G. Sostero has kindly supply his image taken on Sept. 11.1, which
can be seen at http://vsnet.ggw.org/asras/sn2000/n735s1.jpg.  I have
compare it with Kowal et al's paper, but I could not get the firm
impression whether the positions are identical or not, though I feel
that SN 2000dj is slightly eastward than SN 1972L.

  Further follow-ups are strongly encouraged.
