[vsnet-discovery-sn 1] possible SN in NGC2575

["Yasuo Sano" <nytenmon@cocoa.ocn.ne.jp>]

    I would like to announce my discovery of a possible supernova in
NGC 2575.

    The new object was discovered on six frames with 30 seconds exposured
on Jan. 22.52 UT using 0.28-cm f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a CCD.
The limiting magnitude was around 17.5.  The unfilltered CCD magnitude of
the new object was 16.06, and it is located 7".4 south and 38".3 east from
the galaxy center.
    No star was found at the corresponding position on two frames on
1999 Feb. 16 and 2001 Jan. 4 (limiting magnitude 17.5).  The object has
been checked against known minor planets.  No appreciable motion was
detected during the 16 min observation.  Further observations are
encourgaed.

    The report has been sent to the CBAT.  I will send an image of the
new object to vsnet-sn-chart.
