VARIABLE STAR IN TAURUS
J. Skvarc, Crni Vrh Observatory, reports on CBET 701 the discovery of a 
new star-like object (mag about 15.2) on four unfiltered CCD images 
(limiting mag 18.5) taken during Oct. 26.010-26.037 UT in the course of 
the PIKA project at with the Crni Vrh 0.60-m f/3.3 Cichocki telescope. 
The new object is located at:
RA 03h 29m 12.26s DEC+12 50' 17.6" (2000)
Nothing is visible at this location on images taken on 2004 Sept. 10, 
Nov. 16, and 2005 Jan. 22 (limiting mag 18.5).
Richard Miles, Stourton Caundle, England, reports the following position 
end figures for the variable star (at V = 15.2-15.3) from unfiltered CCD 
images taken on Oct. 26.963 with a 0.28-m f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain 
reflector: 12.24s +/- 0.01s, 17.6"+/- 0".1.
David Boyd, West Challow, U.K., reports that his V-band CCD exposures 
with a 0.35-m Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector taken around Oct. 27.0 UT, 
yield V = 15.2, V-I about 0.

SUPERNOVA 2006im
Correction: On TA E-Circular 2275 SN 2006im was stated to be in UGC 6154 
but should have read as located in an anonymous galaxy.
