Dear SN watchers,

  According to IAUC 7124, a bright type II supernova has been
discovered in Virgo-Coma region by BAO supernova survey team.  The
location of the new star is R.A. = 12h01m10s.5, Decl. = +14o06'11"
(2000), which is close to the nucleus of the edge-on SBb galaxy IC
755, and coincident to the south-eastern part of the bulge region.  

  This star has been discovered on Mar. 7.83 (mag = 15:C), and also
been appeared on images taken on Jan. 22.85 and later.  BAO term has
performed on Mar. 10.8, which shows that this is of type II supernova.

  Magnitude estimates of this star would be hard because of the
contamination by the host galaxy, but be challenging.  

Sincerely Yours,
Hitoshi Yamaoka, Kyushu Univ., Japan
