I note that the new supernova SN 2000ds in NGC 2768 has two comparison stars with VRI photometry available only 1' south of the supernova. Positions and descriptions of their location are listed below along with the photometric data. These were obtained from the galaxy photometry compilation by Longo & de Vaucouleurs (Univ. of Texas Monographs in Astronomy, nos. 3, 3a, and 5), and are part of the longer list from these publications that I keep at: http://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/bas/gxcats/ldev.all \Brian Name RA (2000) Dec GSC V V-R V-I location NGC 2768 b 9 11 33.3 +60 00 43 4135-1743 15.18 0.60 1.36 Wrn of two S edge NGC 2768 c 9 11 39.2 +60 00 39 4135-1620 14.21 0.39 0.81 Ern of two S edge
