I have submitted the below report to CBAT:

SUPERNOVA 2000cm in FGC 1384 

  H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, reports the precise position of 
SN 2000cm (IAUC 7436, 7437), measured with unfiltered CCD image 
taken on June 4 UT by F. M. Ewalt (East Killingly, CT) with 0.25-m
telescope: R.A. = 12h12m59s.43, Decl. = 7o18'00".8 (equinox 2000.0).

Sincerely Yours,
