  I have examined CCD images of NGC 6239 taken with the 30-inch
KAIT telescope in California.  An image taken on Sep 13, 1998
("new" image) shows no obvious feature near the nucleus of the
galaxy, compared to an image taken Aug 20, 1998 ("old" image).

  Please note that the "old" image is only about 3 weeks old itself,
so a supernova might appear in both.  If so, it must be in the central
nuclear region, within a few arcseconds of the brightest blob of the
nucleus.

  I can supply images in FITS format to interested parties --
just ask.
