			SN 2000xxx in NGC 524

   C. Yu, M. Modjaz, 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 NGC 524. The SN was discovered and confirmed on unfiltered
images taken on Jul 17.5 UT (mag about 14.5) and Jul 18.4 UT
(mag about 14.3), respectively. The new object is located at
R.A. = 01h24m46s.15, Decl. = +09o30'30".9 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 23".0 west and 109".3 south of the nucleus of 
NGC 524. A KAIT image of the same field on Aug 31.4 UT, 1998
showed nothing at the position of the SN (limiting mag about 19.5).
