       SN 2000xxx in UGC 3770

       A. Friedman 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 in UGC 3770 on
an unfiltered image taken on Nov 30.5 UT (mag about 17.5).
The SN was confirmed by an unfiltered image taken by M. Schwartz
with the 0.5-m Tenagra III automatic telescope at about the
same magnitude on Dec 1.2 UT.  The new object is located at
R.A.  = 7h15m29s.79, Decl. = +23o25'32".5 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 5".1 east and 5".6 south of the nucleus of UGC 3770.
KAIT images of the same field on Nov 24.5 UT (limiting magnitude
about 18) and Nov 17.4 UT (limiting magnitude about 19.0) showed
nothing at the position of the SN.
