EDITOR'S ABSENCE
As I am involved in giving two talks at the BAA Workshop in Cheltenham 
this weekend, I will not be monitoring my mailbox again until Sunday 
afternoon. If you have urgent potential discovery messages please ring 
Nick James or Denis Buczynski whose contact details appear in each issue 
of the magazine. If you are able to contact them try the editor's

SUPERNOVAE 2006hc-2006iq
Other than supernovae individually reported above, remaining supernovae 
in the above range have no longer been detailed on IAUCs and were 
fainter than magnitude 18.5. Further details are, however, available on 
WWW at:
