PSN J17143828+4340517   
Ron Arbour, South Wonston, England reports the discovery of an apparent
supernova of magnitude 17.1V in an anonymous galaxy on an unfiltered CCD
image taken on 2014 Nov 02.86UT using a 0.35-m f/6 Schmidt Cassegrain
Telescope and SXVF H9 ccd camera in the course of searches for the UK
nova/supernova patrol. The object was also recorded on several subsequent
images to a limiting unfiltered magnitude of about 18.8.

A pre-discovery image was found taken on 2014 Oct 31.83UT at the same
position but about 0.5 mag. fainter.

Precise position:  17h 14m 38.28s    +43° 40' 51.7" (2000)
Offsets from galaxy:   1" W   3" S

The object was not visible on the Digitised Sky Survey POSS II Blue plate
(1990July 22) or the POSS II Red plate (1991 June 14).

SUPERNOVA IN NGC 4080
G. Terreran, INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Padnova, reports on ATEL 6641
that the Asiago Transient Classification Program relays the spectroscopic
classification of the object in NGC 4080 (see TA E-circular 3036) as a type
Ib at 3 weeks phase.
>From the distance modulus m-M=28.74 (Virgo + GA + Shapley) and the magnitude
at discovery, we deduce an absolute magnitude around
-14.8 mag.
