       SN 2000xxx in ESO 419-G3

       A. B. Aazami and W. D. Li, University of California at
Berkeley, on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report the
discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope
(KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on
Nov 26.4 (mag about 17.6) and 27.3 UT (mag about 17.8). The
new object is located at R.A. = 3h42m11s.71, Decl. = -27o51'48".0
(equinox 2000.0), which is 7".6 east and 3".4 north of the
nucleus of ESO 419-G3.  A KAIT image of the same field on
Nov 17.4 UT also showed the SN at magnitude about 17.8,
while an image on Oct 19.4 UT showed nothing at the position
of the SN (limiting mag about 19.0).
