SUPERNOVA 1998cp IN MCG +9-21-11
Michael Schwartz, Cottage Grove, OR, reports his discovery of
an apparent supernova (mag 18.0) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken
with the 0.35-m Tenagra I automated supernova patrol telescope on
June 21.27 UT.  The candidate is located at:
R.A. = 12h31m52s.3, Decl. =+52d23'39" (2000), which is 3" east and
24" south of MCG +9-21-11 (CGCG 270-008).       IAUC 6954 (extract)

SUPERNOVA 1998cq IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
L. Germany reports that the Mount Stromlo Abell Cluster Supernova
Search Team has discovered another apparent supernova (V = 19.3) on
V and R CCD images taken on June 17 (limiting mag V = 20.5) by S.
Chan at the Mount Stromlo 1.27-m telescope (+ Macho Camera), and
confirmed by Chan on June 18 (limiting mag V = 20.5).  SN 1998cq is
located near Abell 2819 at R.A. = 0h45m06s.11, Decl. = -63o49'50".4
(2000), which is 0".3 east and 1".2 north of the centre of its host
galaxy.                                         IAUC 6955 (extract)

SUPERNOVA 1998cr IN PGC 57979
T. Puckett and A. Langoussis, Mountain Town, GA, report the
discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 17.6) on an unfiltered CCD
frame taken with the Puckett Observatory 0.30-m automated supernova
patrol telescope on June 28.09 UT.  SN 1998cr is located at R.A. =
16h23m17s.25, Decl. = +37o12'47".5 (2000), which is 0".5 west and
7".5 south of the nucleus of PGC 57979.         IAUC 6956 (extract)

SUPERNOVA 1998cs IN UGC 10432
T. Puckett, Mountain Town, GA, reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 17.5) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with
the Puckett Observatory 0.30-m automated supernova patrol telescope
on June 29.25 UT.  The candidate is located at R.A. = 16h30m39s.22,
Decl. = +41o12'54".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 0".2 east and 16".0
north of the nucleus of UGC 10432.              IAUC 6957 (extract)

SUPERNOVA 1998ct IN UGC 10062
M. Schwartz, Cottage Grove, OR, reports his discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 16.1) on an unfiltered CCD frame taken with
the 0.35-m Tenagra I automated supernova patrol telescope on June
29.30 UT.  The candidate is located at R.A. = 15h51m11s.67, Decl. =
+21 56'36".0 (2000), which is 5" west and 2" north of the centre of
UGC 10062.                                      IAUC 6957 (extract)

SUPERNOVA 1998cu IN IC 1525
W. D. Li, M. Modjaz, R. R. Treffers, and A. V. Filippenko,
University of California at Berkeley, report their discovery of an
apparent supernova during the course of the Lick Observatory
Supernova Search with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope
(KAIT).  SN 1998cu was found and confirmed in unfiltered CCD images
obtained on June 29.4 (mag about 18.4) and 30.4 UT (mag about
18.1).  The new object is located at R.A. = 23h59m12s.95, Decl. =
+46o52'31".8 (2000), which is about 29".2 west and 50".3 south of
the nucleus of IC 1525.                         IAUC 6958 (extract)
