SUPERNOVA 2009ga IN NGC 7678
Discovery by K. Itagaki, Japan of a possible supernova (CBET 1839):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009ga  Jun  8.71   23 28 26.78  +22 24 50.4  16.2    15  "W,26  "S
Nothing is visible at this position on his many past frames (general 
limiting magnitude 19.0, but limiting mag 19.5 on 2006 Aug. 3) or on the 
Digitised Sky Survey; there is no recent survey image because this 
galaxy is in the eastern morning sky. The type-Ib supernova 1997dc also 
appeared in NGC 7678.

SUPERNOVA 2009gb IN ESO 447-37
Discovery by the CHASE Project of a possible supernova (CBET 1840):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009gb  Jun  9.20   14 47 25.83  -30 39 02.5  14.9    10.8"W,19.6"S
ESO 447-37 was also the host galaxy of the type-Ia supernova 2009as.

SUPERNOVA 2009gc IN MCG -03-28-32
Discovery by the CHASE Project of a possible supernova (CBET 1841):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009gc  Jun  9.09   11 03 16.04  -16 46 09.7  17.4     7.0"W,37.5"S
Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on Apr. 
13.06 (limiting mag 19.0) and May 9.19 (limiting mag 18.0)

SUPERNOVA 2009gd IN NGC 5967
Discovery by Peter Marples and Colin Drescher, Australia of a possible 
supernova (CBET 1842):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset
2009gd  Jun  9.42   15 48 22.79  -75 40 47.8  16.3R   25  "E,25  "S
Following an appeal by the Central Bureau, C. Jacques and E.
Pimentel, Brazil, report that their 90-s unfiltered CCD image taken on 
June 11.08 with a 0.30-m f/3 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector yields 
position end figures 22.87s, 47.9" and mag 16.3 adding that nothing is 
visible at this position on a Digitised Sky Survey image from 1994 Mar. 
23 (limiting red magnitude 19.0).
