Dear Taichi,

I hereby report observations of SN 2002jp.

You will notice that one of them is prediscovery (11 days before) and the
other one is also well before the announcement.
I overlooked the new star on the images because it was so far outside the
galaxy...
In view of the rarity of open skies here this is a hard lesson learned.

Bronberg observatory / CBA Pretoria
observer: Berto Monard  MLF, Pretoria, South Africa
location: -25 º 54' 48", 28º 26' 44"E, altitude 1590m
instrumentation: LX200 12" f/4.2 with ST-7E, unfiltered
conditions: long forgotten

The reported CR magnitude results from differential photometry to non-red
comparison stars with R magnitudes from UCAC1.

SN2002jp   021012.10   <185CR   MLF
SN2002jp   021112.075   177CR   MLF
SN2002jp   021202.043   170CR   MLF

Regards,

Berto
