SUPERNOVA 2005L IN MCG +07-33-5
An e-mail was received on January 19 from Tom Boles of Coddenham, 
England who reported his detection of a possible magnitude 18.2 
supernova in MCG +07-33-5 during the course of searches for the UK 
Nova/Supernova Patrol.

The initial detection was on 2005 January 15.141UT from unfiltered CCD 
images obtained with a 0.35-m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Confirmatory 
images were obtained on January 19.073UT.

The new object is located at:
RA 15h 53m 25.93s DEC +39 23' 08.1"(2000), which is approximately 5.1" 
east and 2.7" south of the centre of host galaxy.

The suspect is not present on Tom's images of 2004 June 21 and Sept 5 
(limiting mag 19.5) and it is not recorded on DSS II red (1991.272 
limiting mag 21.0), blue plates (1988.370 limiting mag 20.5)

The object has been designated supernova 2005L and announced on IAUC 
8469. Congratulations to Tom on the discovery of his 85th supernova.

SUPERNOVA 2005C IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
The discovery of this object by Tom Boles was reported on TA E-Circular 
2081.

M. Ganeshalingam, et. al., University of California, Berkeley, have 
reported on IAUC 8468 that inspection of CCD spectra obtained on 2005 
Jan. 16UT with the Shane 3-m reflector at Lick Observatory, shows that 
the object is probably a supernova of type Ib, several weeks past 
maximum.
