Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project,
report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately
16.2) on an unfiltered image taken on Nov. 12.09 UT
with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope located at Cerro
Tololo. The new object, which is also present at mag
approximately 15.0 in an image taken at Cerro Tololo
with the CHASE 50-cm telescope on Nov. 13.11, is located
at R.A. = 5h19m34s.47 +/- 0".2, Decl. = -32°39'14".6
+/- 0".2 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 16".8 west
and 13".6 north of the center of the galaxy ESO 362-18.
Nothing is visible at this position on archival images
taken with the "PROMPT 5" telescope on Nov. 6.27 (limiting
mag 17.5) and Oct. 23.22 (limiting mag 18.0).
