[vsnet-campaign-sn 224] Re: [vsnet-alert 6438] (fwd) M74 supernova??

From the Minor Planet Checker (http://cfaps8.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckSN?s=m)

*****

The following minor planets, brighter than V = 20, were found in the
15-arcminute region around M 74 (R.A. = 01 36.7, Decl. = +15
47, J2000.0) on 2001 08 25.00 UT: 

 Object designation           R.A.     Decl.    V       Offsets     Motion/hr  
Orbit  Further observations?
                              h  m      °  '          R.A.   Decl.  R.A. 
Decl.        Comment.  (Elong./Decl/V at date 1)

        1997 WE8            01 36.77 +15 55.3  18.5   0.9E   8.3N   0.0-  
0.0+    5o  None needed at this time.

 End of list

Notes: The offsets and hourly motions are in minutes of arc (R.A. offsets and
motions include the standard cos Decl. term) from
the galaxy's nucleus. 

Users are warned that the determination here of accurate offsets from the center
of the galaxy is not possible as the catalogued galaxy
coordinates are rarely given to better than 1'. The values given here should be
taken as guides only. 

******

So, one has to check better the image (which I cannot see from this computer),
and if the suspect is closer to the nucleus than about 8.5 arcminutes, it is
worth to get another image.

Gianluca
