SUPERNOVA 2005io IN UGC 3361
     An apparent supernova in UGC 3361 has been independently
discovered on unfiltered CCD images by E. Lee and W. Li (via
LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8625) and by T. Boles (Coddenham, England,
0.35-m reflector).  Li provides the following position for the
new object:  R.A. = 5h50m24s.64, Decl. = +49o43'06".5 (equinox
2000.0), which is 6".1 west and 17".6 north of the nucleus of
UGC 3361.  Boles provides end figures 24s.62, 06".4 for SN
2005io.  Approximate magnitudes for 2005io:  1989 Dec. 3, [21.0
(Digitized Sky Survey, red plate; via Boles); 1992 Nov. 24,
[21.5 (DSS, blue plate; via Boles); 2005 Mar. 14 UT, [19.5
(Boles); Oct. 10, [19.5 (Boles); 28.46, [19.5 (KAIT); Nov. 3.47,
18.5 (KAIT); 4.007, 18.6 (Boles).
