SUPERNOVA 2007iq IN UGC 3416
On 2007 September 12 we received an e-mail from Tom Boles of Coddenham, 
England reporting that he had detected a possible supernova of magnitude 
17.5 in the galaxy UGC 3416 during searches for the UK Nova/Supernova 
Patrol.

Multiple CCD unfiltered images had been secured around 2007 Sept 12.083 
using a 0.35-m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and the object was measured 
to be at:

RA 06h 13m 32.33s DEC +69 43'49.2" (2000), which is approximately 39.9" 
west and 3.9" north of the centre of the host galaxy.

Tom further reported the new object was not present on his images of 
2007 Jan 14 and 2006 Dec 16 which had a limiting magnitude of 19.5. 
Further it was also not recorded on DSS II red (1997-03-09 limiting mag 
20.5) nor blue plates (1996-01-18 limiting mag 21.0)

In a further e-mail Tom relays that he obtained confirmatory images
on Sept 12.912UT with measured end figures RA 32.34s DEC 49.0" and with 
the magnitude remaining at 17.5.

A designation was assigned on CBET 1064 issued today. Congratulations to 
Tom on the discovery of his 107th supernova.
