(fwd) New supernova in NGC 4725

From: David Bishop <dbishop@vhdl.org>
Subject:  New supernova in NGC 4725

LOSS just posted the discovery of a new Supernova, which will
probably get the name 1999gr, on their web page.  The information
on this SN is at:
http://astron.berkeley.edu/~bait/1999/ngc4725.html

At mag 19.3 it's a very dim Sn in a very bright galaxy
(NGC 4725 is a mag 9.2 galaxy).  1969H and 1940B were also discovered
in this galaxy (the third SN in this galaxy turned out to be a
foreground star).

This also marks supernova discovery #200 for the year 1999.
