SUPERNOVA 1994Q IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
C. Pollas, Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (OCA), reports his
discovery of a supernova (mag R about 16.5) at
R.A. = 16h48m11s.64, Decl. = +40o31'01".1 (1950),
which is 0".4 west and 3".5 south of the centre of the host galaxy.
SN 1994Q was found on two plates taken by D. Albanese on June 2.92
and 3.06 UT with the 0.9-m OCA Schmidt telescope; nothing is
visible at this position on a similar plate taken one month ago.
A nearby star (R about 15) has end figures 05s.97, 30'50".5.
IAUC 6001

TV CRV

nova (Tombaugh's Variable) is in outburst: 1994 May 28.18UT, 14.0
(D.York, NM, USA); 29.70, 12.1 (D.Overbeek, Edenvale, South
Africa); 30.22, 12.5 (York); June 3.51, 13.5 (M.Iida, Japan).
