No source brighter than V=16.4 was visible at the location specified. SUPERNOVA 2012cp IN UGC 8713 (L. COX ET. AL.) 2012cp May 23.19 13 47 01.68 +33 53 36.0 16.1 6.7"E 1.2"S T.-M. Zhang: spectrum May 25 type-Ia a few days before maximum. D. Milisavljevic: spectrum May 28 type-Ia a few days before maximum light and similar to SN 1990N at -6 days. SUPERNOVA 2012cq IN UGC 4792 (TOMOKI MOROKUMA ET. Al.) 2012cq May 13.52 09 08 05.46 +20 30 12.5 18.2 0.1"S 4.8"W E. S. Walker: spectrum May 24 type-II. Using the publically available GELATO code 2012cq is most similar to the type-IIn supernova 1998S at fourteen days after maximum. SUPERNOVA 2012cr IN NGC 4626 (CSS) 2012cr May 25.15 12 42 24.45 -07 02 57.6 18.3 12.7"W 18.2"S Y. Cao: spectrum May 30 type-II several days after maximum. SUPERNOVA 2012cs IN IC 1129 (D. RICH) 2012cs May 27.08 15 31 57.65 +68 14 42.8 18.0: 17.6"W 4.0"S G. H. Marion: spectrum June 14 shows it to be type-IIb about two weeks after maximum light. Guy Hurst reports that an image with the Sierra Stars 0.61-m Cassegrain telescope on 2012 June 17.242UT using a V filter gave V=17.9 using a sequence from Trondal and A2 converted to V. SUPERNOVA 2012ct IN SDSS J163213.74+383920.1 (KISS PROJECT) 2012ct May 22.50 16 32 13.92 +38 39 25.1 18.0g 2.7"E 5.1"N E. S. Walker: spectrum May 24 type-II which appears most similar to the type-II supernovae 2005cs, 1999em, and 2004et around maximum light. Guy M Hurst
