SUPERNOVA 1995H IN NGC 3526
J. Mueller reports her discovery of a supernova of mag about 16 in
NGC 3526 (R.A. = 11h07m.0, Decl. = +7o10', equinox 2000.0),
found on an IVN plate taken on Feb. 24 in the course of the second
Palomar Sky Survey by Mueller, D. Griffith, and J. D. Mendenhall;
SN 1995H is 17" west and 3" south of the galaxy's centre.
S.Benetti, European Southern Observatory (ESO); M. Longhetti,
Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera; and G. Marconi, Osservatorio
Astronomico, Rome, report that preliminary inspection of a
fully-reduced CCD spectrogram (range 400-900 nm; resolution 0.6
nm) obtained on Mar. 7.17 UT with ESO 1.5-m telescope (+ Boller &
Chivens spectrograph), shows that the object located 19".6 west
and 7".5 south of the galaxy's centre is a type II supernova, 6-7
weeks after outburst.

V725 AQUILAE
Daisaku Nogami, Japan reports:
During the course of our systematic survey of dwarf novae at Ouda
Station, Kyoto University, we discovered a "new" bright (V~13.6)
object in the vicinity of the catalogued position of V725 Aql.
At the corresponding position of the CV chart by Downes & Shara,
there seems to be only a very faint star (V~19?), and  it is
clearly in a different position from the new object noted.
It is likely we have rediscovered the "true" V725 Aql in outburst
(if so, the large outburst amplitude suggests a low outburst
frequency -- intensive observations during the current outburst
are therefore highly recommended).

M.Iida, Japan reports a precise position based on 7 GSC stars:
RA 19h56m45.03s DEC +10 49' 32.7" (2000).

M.Koshiro, Japan reports a visual estimate on Mar 11.804UT of
magnitude 13.5 using a 0.30-m reflector.
