       SN 2000xxx in ESO 527-G19

     C. Yu, 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 ESO 527-G19.
The SN was discovered and confirmed on unfiltered images taken
on Aug 9.3 UT (mag about 16.9) and Aug 10.3 UT (mag about 16.5),
respectively. The new object is located at R.A. = 20h20m45s.47,
Decl. = -24o07'57".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3".5 west and
16".0 south of the nucleus of ESO 527-G19.  A KAIT image of the
same field on Aug 2.3 UT showed nothing at the position of the
SN (limiting mag about 19.0).
