About the suspected SN in Abell 262, I intend to give some basic
information.  

The cluster Abell 262 has z = 0.0161, from which the normal SNeIa at
this distance would be expected to be about 15.7 mag at their maximum
light.  Reported magnitude was 2 mag brighter than this. 

The center of the cluster is 1h52m.8, +36o08' (2000.0, Abell et al.
1988).  The location of the new star is about 24' west and 2' north
from the cluster center.  In the neibour of the reported position,
there is a (spiral?) galaxy UGC 1319 = PGC 6865 = IRAS 01485+3549.  
From its core, the reported star is at an offset of 190" west and 124"
north.  

Sincerely Yours,
