University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf
of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent
supernova (mag approximately 16.8) on unfiltered images
taken on July 12.08 and 12.98 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT
1' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object
is located at R.A. = 13h23m06s.30 +/- 0".1, Decl. =
-13°00'18".1 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about
3".4 east and 4".0 south of center of the presumed host
galaxy. Nothing is visible at this position on archival
images taken on June 12.07 (limiting mag 18.0) and May
1.13 (limiting mag 18.5). .
