# UGC 11376, the host galaxy of SN 2002dw is a spiral galaxy near the
# Milky Way (b = 19o).  The position of SN is R.A. = 18h54m15s.25,
# Decl. = +48o55'37".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 8".1 east and 3".5
# south of the nucleus of UGC 11376.  It is embedded on the odd-shaped
# disk.  The expected maximum for typical SN Ia is mag about 16.6.

# The KAIT team also reported another (possibly cataclysmic) variable
# in the same field.  The position end figures of this object is
# 06s.41, 18".5, which is about 1'.4 WSW of UGC 11376.  The reported 
# magnitudes are: mag 19.7 on July 4.3, 19.4 on July 5.3).  On this
# position, no quisient counterpart is seen on every DSS images,
# except a marginally-detected object on DSS 2 red image.  About 6"
# south of the reported position, a quite dim (rmag about 19.5) object
# is seen on DSS2 blue, red, and infrared images.  

# The discovery image of these objects can be seen at:
