 SUPERNOVA 2005my IN ESO 302-G27
     P. Luckas, Perth, W. Australia; O. Trondal, Oslo, Norway; and M.
 Schwartz, Patagonia, AZ, report the discovery of an apparent supernova
 on unfiltered CCD frames taken with the 0.35-m Tenagra telescope at
 Perth on 2005 Dec. 30.55 (at mag 17.8) and 2006 Jan. 1.53 UT (mag
 17.3) in the course of the Tenagra Observatory Supernova Search.  SN
 2005my is located at R.A. = 4h01m53s.13, Decl. = -41o56'08".3 (equinox
 2000.0), which is 15".9 east and 23".0 north of the center of ESO
 302-G27 (which itself has position end figures 51s.70, 31".3).
 Nothing was visible at the position of 2005my on an image taken by
 Luckas on 2005 Oct. 14.75 (limiting magnitude about 18.5).

  SUPERNOVA 2005my IN ESO 302-G27
      M. Salvo and B. Schmidt, Australian National University (ANU);
  and S. Ryder, Anglo-Australian Observatory, report that a spectrogram
  (range 370-900 nm), obtained with the ANU 2.3-m telescope (+
  Double-Beam Spectrograph) on Jan. 7.53 UT, shows SN 2005my (IAUC
  8655) to be a type-II supernova in the late plateau phase; adopting
  the NED recession velocity for the host galaxy (Mathewson and Ford
  1996, Ap.J. Suppl. 107, 97) of cz = 4441 km/s, the expansion velocity
  measured from the Fe II 492.4- and 501.8-nm lines is 2000 km/s.
