			SN 2000xxx in MCG +05-56-007

   M. Modjaz, A. B. Aazami, and W. D. Li, University of California
at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search 
(cf. IAUC 6627, 7126) with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT), report the discovery of an apparent supernova 
in MCG +05-56-007. The SN was discovered and confirmed on unfiltered
images taken on Jul 14.5 UT (mag about 17.4) and Jul 15.5 UT
(mag about 17.2), respectively. The new object is located at
R.A. = 23h47m25s.10, Decl. = +28o23'15".8 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 8".4 east and 21".2 south of the nucleus of 
MCG +05-56-007. A KAIT image of the same field on Jul 5.5 UT
showed nothing at the position of the SN (limiting mag about 19.0).



             Nova in NGC 185

    Modjaz and Li also report the discovery by LOSS of an
apparent nova in NGC 185.  The nova was discovered and
confirmed on unfiltered images taken on Jul 13.5 UT (mag about
18.7) and Jul 14.5 UT (mag about 18.2), respectively. The new object
is located at R.A.= 00h39m07s.02, Decl.= +48o20'34".4 (equinox 2000.0),
which is about 93" east and 20" north of the diffuse nucleus of NGC 185.
A KAIT image of the same field on Jul 11.5 UT (limiting magnitude
about 19.0) showed nothing at the position of the nova.
