VARIABLE OBJECT NEAR UGC 11603
Wolfgang Kloehr, Germany, reports his discovery of a variable object 
near UGC 11603 and located at:
RA 20h 37m 07.81s  DEC +63 39' 13.6" (2000).

Observations: 2006 Sept 24 (03h11m48s UT), mag 15.2; 20h43m40sUT, 15.3; 
23h40m57sUT, 15.3.
0.26-m SC + Meade DSI-Pro II

A reference image of Sept 7 (01h36m24sUT) did not seem to show the 
object to a limit of mag 17.5.

Brian Skiff (USA) comments that this object is apparently rather blue, 
and thus one can suspect it is a dwarf nova or similar object.

The 'best' position seems to be from USNO-B1.0, which also shows
modest proper motion:
RA 20h 37m 07.67s DEC +63 39'15.5" (2000)
It is USNO-B1.0 1536-0254951.

SUPERNOVAE 2006fd-2006fn
Further Sloan Sky Digital Survey II supernova discoveries have been 
reported. These are of magnitude 19 or fainter and were detected between 
Aug 27 and Sept 15.
