DWARF NOVA IN AQUARIUS
J. Prieto, Ohio State University (OSU) et. al., report the discovery on 
CBET 692 of a Galactic hydrogen-deficient dwarf nova, possibly a member 
of the rare "AM CVn" class.  The object, located at RA 20h 47m 39.40s 
DEC +00 08'40.3"(2000), was discovered at magnitude r = 17.8 using the 
SDSS 2.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory on Oct. 12UT. On Oct 14 
it had faded to 20.8 but re-brightened on Oct 18 to r=18.3. A spectrum 
of the object on Oct. 19.08 UT with the MDM 2.4-m Hiltner telescope 
shows a blue continuum with shallow absorption lines of He I at 382.0, 
386.7,392.7, 400.9, 402.5, 414.4, 438.8, 447.1, 492.2, and 587.6 nm with 
zero radial velocity.

2006jb  Oct. 11.25  00 00 37.55  +28 23 02.9  17.4     4.5"W  1.6"S
The object was not recorded on Sept. 23.32UT to a limit of 19.1.

SUPERNOVA 2006jc IN UGC 4904
Discovery by K. Itagaki and also by Puckett and Gorelli of a possible 
supernova (IAUC 8762):

SN      2006 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2006ke  Oct. 19.51  05 52 37.38  +66 49 00.5  18.7     7.0"E, 2.6"N
This appears to be a subluminous type-Ia supernova then around maximum 
light.

SUPERNOVA 2006kf IN UGC 2829
Discovery by LOSS of a possible supernova (IAUC 8766):
SN      2006 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
