SUPERNOVA 1994E IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
C. Pollas, Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur, reports his discovery
of a supernova (mpg = 19-20) located at
R.A. = 11h29m20s.83, Decl. = +55o38'08".3 (equinox 1950.0), which
is 0".3 west and 3".6 south of the center of a spiral galaxy of mpg
about 18.  A nearby star (mpg about 15.5) is at (end figures)
22s.89, 37'29".2.  SN 1994E was detected on two technical pan films
taken on Mar. 5.04 and 6.03UT, while nothing is visible on a pair
of similar films taken in early 1992; both pairs of films reach
stellar mag 22.
