  Thank you for the information.  My understanding about the CROSS
program is that now it extends to be "international".  One of the
discoverer of SN 2001dp, say, Marco Migliardi, was lived in Italy last
year when he discovered SN 2000M using Col Druscie Remote Observatory
0.5-m reflector (IAUC 7373).  SN 2000cr was also discovered with this
telescope (IAUC 7443).  Then, he seems to move to France and
discovered SN 2000de with his 0.2-m Schmidt-Cassegrain (IAUC 7478).
This discovery (and the discovery of SN 2001dp also) was described as
"in the course of the CROSS program".  So, I guess that Marco (and
co-discoverer E. Dal Farra) is "a member of the CROSS program in
France". 

  Please comment further > Alessandro or Marco?
