           SUPERNOVA IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY


    By comparing older plates with new ones of the supernova
survey program at the Konkoly Observatory I discovered a supernova 
in the anonymous galaxy alpha=7h27,2m; delta=+65d19' (1950). The
plate was taken with our 60/90/180 cm Schmidt-telescope on 
October 24, 1976. The identification chart is shown in Fig. 1. The
supernova appeared at about 7.0" to the east and 6.0" to the south
of the centre of the galaxy and its brightness was about 15 mag.
