       SN 2000xxx in IC 1468

    C. Yu and W. D. Li, University of California at
Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova
Search (cf. IAUC 6627, 7126) with the 0.8-m Katzman
Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), report the discovery
of an apparent supernova in IC 1468.  The SN was discovered
and confirmed on unfiltered images taken on Sep 27.2 UT
(mag about 17.9) and Sep 28.2 UT (mag about 17.7),
respectively.  The new object is located at R.A. =
23h05m05s.86, Decl. = -3o12'01".0 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 25".8 west and 15".2 north of the nucleus of
IC 1468.  A KAIT image of the same field on Sep 16.2 UT
showed nothing at the position of the SN (limiting mag
about 18.5).
