Hi all,

I was able to get several useful images of IC 867 through holes
of clouds, and the SN was confirmed. The images are too 
poor to get reliable photometry for the SN (the seeing is 
horrible), but the new object is definitely there.

Attached is our report to CBAT.

Cheers,
Weidong

=======================================

           SN 2001XXX in IC 867

       M. Modjaz and W. D. Li, University of California
at Berkeley,  on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report
the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on an unfiltered
image taken on Jan 6.5 UT (mag about 16.5), and confirmed
on several images taken on Jan 9.5 UT under poor weather
conditions.  The new object is located at R.A.  = 13h17m20s.05,
Decl.  = +20 38'09".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 4".3 east
and 7".7 south of the nucleus of IC 867.  A KAIT image of
the same field on 2000 Jun 20.2 UT showed nothing at the
position of the SN (limiting magnitude about 19.0).
