Papenkova and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on July 12.3 (mag about 16.2) and 13.3 UT (mag about 16.1). The object is located at R.A. = 19h24m20s.95, Decl. = -25o59'04".1 (2000), which is 12".1 east and 1".5 north of the nucleus of ESO 525-G004. IAUC 7453 (extract) SUPERNOVA 2000cv IN PGC 39222 W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, reports the discovery by M. Schwartz, Cottage Grove, OR, of an apparent supernova (mag about 16.1) on unfiltered CCD images obtained in the course of the Tenagra Observatory Supernova Search with the 0.35-m Tenagra-I automated telescope on July 11.2 and 12.2 UT. SN 2000cv is located at R.A. = 12h15m42s.04, Decl. = +61o53'24".6 (2000). SN 2000cv was also confirmed in an unfiltered CCD image obtained by Li with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) on July 12.2 (mag about 16.0), from which Li measured the position end figures as 42s.21, 24".0, which is 9".6 east and 1".2 north of the nucleus of PGC 39222. IAUC 7456 (extract) SUPERNOVA 2000cw IN MCG +5-56-007 M. Modjaz, A. B. Aazami, and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, report the discovery with the KAIT of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on July 14.5 (mag about 17.4) and 15.5 UT (mag about 17.2). The new object is located at: R.A. = 23h47m25s.10, Decl. = +28o23'15".8 (2000), which is 8".4 east and 21".2 south of the nucleus of MCG +5-56-007. IAUC 7456 (extract) SUPERNOVA 2000cx IN NGC 524 C. Yu, M. Modjaz, and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on July 17.5 (mag about 14.5) and 18.4 UT (mag about 14.3). The new object is located at: R.A. = 1h24m46s.15, Decl. = +9 30'30".9 (2000), which is 23".0 west and 109".3 south of the nucleus of NGC 524. IAUC 7458 (extract) NOVA IN NGC 185 Modjaz and Li also report the discovery with KAIT of an apparent nova on unfiltered images taken on July 13.5 (mag about 18.7) and 14.5 UT (mag about 18.2). The new object is located at: R.A. = 0h39m07s.02, Decl. = +48o20'34".4 (2000), which is about 93" east and 20" north of the diffuse nucleus of NGC 185. IAUC 7458 (extract) Guy M Hurst
