SUPERNOVA 2005cs IN M51
In response to TA E-Circular 2124, Peter Birtwhistle, Great Shefford, 
England, informs us that he obtained an image of this galaxy on 2005 
June 27.93UT, as first light through a new 0.40-m Schmidt-Cassegrain 
telescope. This shows a pre-discovery image of the supernova at 
magnitude 16.6.

He derived the following precise position:
2005cs   C2005 06 27.93287 13 29 52.81 +47 10 35.3   16.6 R   J95

Peter adds that the derived magnitude, from an unfiltered 50-second
exposure, may be heavily comprised by the bright background of the 
galaxy and may, in reality, be brighter than quoted.

A report was immediately sent by the editor to the Central Bureau and 
this has been published on IAUC 8555.

A later report from Mark Armstrong, Rolvenden, England, indicates the 
supernova was not present on his 60-sec image of June 19 (22.03UT), 
which was obtained with a C14+ST9XE+ME, to a limit of magnitude 19.0.
