   M. Papenkova, and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley,

report the discovery of an apparent supernova in IC 454.  The SN was
discovered on unfiltered images taken on Feb 8.18 UT and Feb 8.22 UT
(mag about 17.3), and confirmed on earlier images taken on Feb 2.2 UT 
(mag about 18.0) and Jan 27.2 UT (mag about 19.0). The new object is
located at R.A.=6h51m07s.67, Decl.= +12 55'18".5 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 19".6 east and 0".2 south of the nucleus of IC 454. An
unfiltered image on Jan 8.2 UT showed nothing at the position of
the SN (limiting mag about 20.0).
