SUPERNOVA 2009ih IN MCG +07-33-12
On 2009 August 22, we received an e-mail from Tom Boles reporting a 
possible supernova in MCG +07-33-12 found during searches for the UK 
Nova/Supernova Patrol. The discovery instrument was a 0.35-m 
Schmidt-Cassegrain with an unfiltered CCD and the object was magnitude 
17.3 on Aug 21.00UT.

The object was confirmed on an image of Aug 22.00UT and is located at:
RA 15h 55m 31.06s DEC +41 56' 54.0" (2000), 0.8"E and 8.0"S of the 
centre of the host galaxy. Nothing is present at this position on Tom's 
images of 2006 Apr 5 and 2006 Jun 30 (limiting magnitude
19.5) nor on Digitised Sky Survey Plates from 1991-04-09 (limiting red 
mag 21.0), and 1988-05-14 (limiting blue mag 20.5).

The object has been designated supernova 2009ih in an announcement on 
CBET 1919. Congratulations to Tom on the discovery of his 122nd 
supernova.

SUPERNOVAE 2009gm-2009gs
CRTS discoveries of several faint supernovae, generally magnitude 18 or 
fainter (except SN 2009gs mag 16.6) found during 2009 May-June. D. 
Milisavljevic et. al., Dartmouth College, report that a low-dispersion 
spectrum of 2009gs, obtained on June 20.7 UT with the 2.4-m Hiltner 
telescope (+ CCDS) at MDM Observatory, shows it to be a normal type-Ia 
supernova near maximum light and located at: RA 21h18m49.42s DEC -05 
57'10.8" (2000).

SUPERNOVAE 2009gv-2009gz
Five supernovae found on images with Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (+ 
Megacam), magnitude 19.2 or fainter (CBET 1864).

SUPERNOVA 2009ha IN MCG -01-7-24
Discovery by Berto Monard of a possible supernova (CBET 1865):
SN      2009 UT      R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.    Mag.     Offset

The type-II supernova 2004er also appeared in this galaxy.

SUPERNOVAE 2009hb AND 2009hc
Two further supernovae on images with Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope mag 
20.7 and 23.0 respectively. 2009hc is likely either a genuine 
intracluster supernova or is hosted by an extremely faint cluster member 
(CBET 1866).
