SUPERNOVA 2000ck IN IC 4355
T. Puckett, Mountain Town, GA, reports the discovery of an
apparent supernova (mag 17.0) on an unfiltered CCD frame (limiting
mag 20.2) taken with the Puckett Observatory 0.60-m automated
supernova patrol telescope on May 26.28 UT.  SN 2000ck is located
at R.A. = 13h58m06s.15, Decl. = +28o25'13".0 (2000), which is 0".3
west and 8".8 south of the centre of IC 4355.  The new object was
also present on an unfiltered CCD frame taken on May 27.09, but it
does not appear on Palomar Sky Survey images taken on 1996 July 9
(limiting mag about 21.0) or 1988 Mar. 20 (limiting mag about
21.0).

V463 SCUTI (=NOVA SCT 2000)
Mike Collins has drawn our attention to the omission of a
magnitude 7 star on the e-chart issued on E1504. This was later
noticed at the time of the paper chart on Observers Bulletin 118
issued 2000 Mar 19 and the star was added as a presumed bright
GSC omission.

The e-chart has now been updated to reflect this correction,
the updated name and the sequence has been extended under
reference TA000528.

The nova is now believed to be below magnitude 14.

Copies of paper and/or e-charts are available on request.
