SUPERNOVA 2004df IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
Tom Boles, Coddenham, England, has reported the discovery of a possible 
supernova on unfiltered CCD images obtained during the course of the UK 
Nova/Supernova Patrol.

The following magnitudes have been derived: June 27.932, 18.4, 28.947, 
18.4, and July 13.001, 18.1.

The object is located at:
RA 15h 08m 20.65s  DEC +21 52'35.3" (2000), 10.7"W and 10.1"S of the 
centre of its host galaxy.

SN 2004df is not present on Tom's images from 2004 Mar 20 and May 18 
with a limiting magnitude of 19.5.

It is also absent from the Digitised Sky Survey plates (red, 1993
Mar. 21; blue, 1986 Apr. 8).

The supernova has been designated SN 2004df and announced on IAUC 8374. 
Congratulations to Tom on the discovery of his 68th supernova.
