David Grennan reports

I have detected a suspected new supernova on an image of galaxy
IC2166/UGC3463 (PGC19064).  (Galaxy coordinates 06 26 55.2 +59 04 41.0).
Astrometry places the suspected new object at

2012 08 22.05056 06 26 51.01 +59 05 02.6 Mag.+16.2 (LM Mag of frame +19.8).
All co-ordinates given are J2000 and magnitudes are unfiltered.  This gives
me offsets of 32.3"(West) and 21.6"(North) of the core of IC2166.

The image was taken by myself at Raheny Observatory, Dublin, Ireland (MPC
Code J41). The instrument used was a 0.36-m f/4.9 Schmidt Cassegrain + CCD.
Exposure 10x60 seconds stacked.

There is no trace of this suspect on a previous survey image taken by me on
2011 Dec 04 (L.M. +19.5) and on the POSS-II plates.

The MPC Minor planet checker reports no object within 15' of this location.
I further checked the Recent Supernova page, Transient Object Confirmation
Page and the Retired TOCP cross reference pages.
  There is no mention of this object on any of these.  I have requested
follow up observations from 
colleagues and of course I will get a second night observation myself as
soon as possible.   I have
submitted this same report to CBAT.  I can, of course, provide images in
support of my submission, if requested.

Tom Boles Coddenham reports:
I made two confirmation images of David's suspect.
I make astrometry:
