A. Crain, D. Foster, M. Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf
of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent
supernova at mag approximately 13.3 on an unfiltered
CCD image taken on Sept. 29.31 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT
5' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object,
which is also present in images taken on Sept. 16.38
(at mag approximately 12.8) and Sept. 30.27 (mag approximately
13.5), is located at R.A. = 7h02m43s.63 +/- 0".1, Decl.
= -28°37'25".2 +/- 0".1 (equinox 2000.0), which is about
42".5 east 265" north of center of the galaxy NGC 2325
(given the large distance from the host, the membership
is not completely secure). Nothing is visible at this
position on archival images taken on Feb. 23.07 (limiting
mag 17.5) and Jan. 14.18 (limiting mag 18.0).
