SUPERNOVA 1999cq IN UGC 11268
M. Modjaz and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley,
on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.8-m
Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT), report the discovery of
an apparent supernova in UGC 11268. The supernova was discovered on
an unfiltered images taken on June 25.4 UT (mag about 15.8), and
confirmed by earlier observations on June 22.4 (mag about 15.8) and
19.4 (mag about 15.9).  The new object is located at:
R.A. = 18h32m07s.10, Decl. = +37o36'44".3 (2000), which is 1".5E
and 4".1S of the nucleus of UGC 11268.
