Dear SN watchers,

  Sorry, I have sent a material under editting.  Please supersede it
with this.

  According to IAUC 7211, LOSS KAIT team has discovered a supernova in
Piscis-Cetus border.  This supernova, 1999cw, is discovered and 
confirmed on June 28.5 and 29.5 UT, respectively.  The position is:
R.A. = 0h20m01s.46, Decl. = -6o20'03".6 (2000.0), which is about 21"
east and 1".5 south of the nucleus of the host galaxy MCG -01-02-001 =
PGC 1288.  The host is SBa galaxy, and the supernova locates on the
edge of the disk.

  Reported magnitudes by discoverer is about 14.2 (both on discovery
and confirmation image), which is quite brighter than the estimated
value of normal SNeIa maximum from the recession velocity of the host
galaxy (3725 km/s from CfA catalog; vsnet-chat 2047).  It can be
caused by the peculiar motion of the host, or by the peculiar nature
of this supernova.  Followup magnitude estimate (and the spectroscopy)
is strongly encouraged.

Sincerely Yours,
