Chornock et. al., (Harvard/CfA) report on ATEL 2680 the discovery of an extragalactic classical nova in the field near NGC 4258 by the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. The transient (ID:PS1-1000254) was discovered at g=20.9 mag on 2010 June 3.30 UT at the position: (J2000) 12:20:55.217 +46:49:55.52 The object DID NOT HAVE A CLEAR ASSOCIATION WITH A HOST GALAXY and rapidly faded to g=22.4 mag by 2010 June 6.35.
