       SN 2000xxx in UGC 3411

           Y. Sato and W. D. Li, University of California at
Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search
(cf. IAUC 6627, 7126),  report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman
Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova
on unfiltered images taken on Oct 14.4 (mag about 17.8) and 15.4 UT
(mag about 17.9). The new object is located at R.A. = 6h10m54s.68,
Decl. = +62o1'27".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 1".3 west and
15".0 north of the nucleus of UGC 3411.  A KAIT image of the same
field on Mar 21.1 UT showed nothing at the position of the SN
(limiting mag about 19.0).



PS. This SN was independently discovered by Mark Armstrong on Oct 13 UT.
