ROTSE3 J203837.4-250656: POSSIBLE SUPERNOVA IN MCG-04-48-026
F. Yuan, University of Michigan et. al., report on The Astronomer's 
Telegram 2128 the discovery of a SN candidate,
ROTSE3 J203837.4-250656,
on unfiltered CCD images taken on 2009 Jul 11.90 UT with the 0.45-m 
ROTSE-IIIc telescope at the H.E.S.S. site in Namibia. The transient was 
detected at about 17.0 magnitude on both Jul 11.90 UT and Jul 12.89 UT. 
It is located at:
RA  20h 38m 37.42s DEC -25o 06' 56.0" (2000), which is 26" west and 33'' 
north to the centre of galaxy MCG-04-48-026. No source was detected at 
this location in the DSS2 images and the ROTSE-III reference image 
(limit ~19.3 mag)constructed from images taken between Jun. 2008 and 
Aug. 2008.

A finding chart of the transient is posted at the following website URL:

The transient is slightly blended with an object (R~18.2 in USNOB
1.0) to its southeast in the ROTSE-III images.

SUPERNOVA 2009fs IN UGC 11205
Discovery by the Tim Puckett, USA et. al., of a possible supernova (CBET 
1829):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009fs  Jun  1.31   18 19 11.93  +42 48 21.8  17.0    10.3"E, 1.0"S
The new object was confirmed at mag 17.0 by T. Orff on June 2.27 with a 
0.60-m reflector at Ellijay.

SUPERNOVA 2009ft IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
Discovery by the CRTS of a possible supernova (CBET 1830):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009ft  May 23.17   14 24 06.03  + 7 46 10.3  17.9    14.3"E,32.4"N
J. M. Silverman et. al., University of California at Berkeley, report 
that inspection of CCD spectra of May 28 UT with the 3-m Shane reflector 
(+ Kast) at Lick Observatory, reveals it to be a normal type-Ia 
supernova about one week past maximum brightness.
